I actually did and ended up with a purely political answer blaming the difficulty of regulation and consumer-beware-ism. Even though in this particular case there really is no opportunity to beware - its either go with the banks that are all part of this or live on a commune singing about flowers -- and it is way too cold here in the winter for that!

What about the concerned citizens with no formal degree who have little chance of being taken seriously in this time- and attention-starved age?
