This is like saying, "everyone who has doubts about whether or not he
should purchase a timeshare, should attend one of those free
high-pressures sales presentations".

Wow! Such obvious bias and prejudice! Yet you would have us believe
they are "often better"?

Whereas if they believe they are all like you, they will keep their
negative opinions?

Yes. People make even stranger and more mysterious choices.

What are you talking about? People do _lots_ of things that don't make
sense. Just look at tall those people who signed morgages without
reading the whole contract, falling prey to the high-powered sales
tactics of loan officers.

Besides: astrology doesn't make sense, yet you believe in that. So
your plea here is all the more unconvincing.
