Your Seagal story reminds of a bit further back, in 1995. That was when Hillary Clinton went to Nepal, and along the way made the claim that she was named after Edmund Hillary. Ignore that she was born six years before his famed climb, and her mother unlikely to have heard of him in the U. S. Make of it what you will, that isn't my point. My point is that in 1995, my first thought was, "you know, we can instantly check this stuff now, as the words leave your lips." I don't know that politicians have been made more honest as a result, but it's an improvement anyway. In the case of Cramer, who cares enough to trade on his recommendations? Doesn't matter, that isn't the point (but thank you, TFA author, for the effort). The point is that instead of vague memories of how it turned out, like we'd have to make do with 40 years ago, we have folks that can make sense of 20K records and tell you whether Cramer is full of shit, generally speaking.
