So this was obviously all complete misinformation, but maybe we could argue they weren’t lying. Maybe they’re all just incredibly incompetent. And so possibly their false pretences to knowledge were down to their scientific ignorance and stupid unfounded optimism, rather than duplicity. But then again, admittedly, however stupid and incompetent, since at no point could they know what they claimed to know, it is hard to get beyond lying.
So anyway, regardless, liars or incompetent, if you discover someone, say a salesman of some kind, to having relentlessly fed you a load of crap about some product they were selling whose virtues turned out not at all to match the sales pitch, you should quickly wipe all cynical remembrance of such discrepancies from your mind, and now go on, in a state of beautiful unharmed innocence, to completely surrender your mind and conscience to their next claims about the same products they were just talking crap about a very short time before. That would be the wise and mature course of action.
