Marketing has always won out over knowledge. It just took a bit of time for that sort of thing to catch up here. And I doubt that marketing through news publications is going to fix that. Human systems slowly accumulate entropy and eventually have to rebuilt from scratch. I don't think human systems can self-repair. There is too much vested interest from various parties to allow that to happen in human systems. And usually when that happens some other group that's doing the work better, say China, out competes the systems which are broken. I don't know if China suffers the same problem, they probably do. But whatever, this sort of behavior creates opportunity for others to move in that do the work better.
