Once you acknowledge their bias, they do know an awful lot about banking Sure, but I really don't. And a lot of other folks are the same. I know they are both biased and have financial incentives to lie or mislead me. As much as I might try, I know I might not be able to parse out the bullshit from the facts. Those facts are gonna stink of the bullshit even if I can verify it. At least with something like a plumber, I can get a second opinion and so on, and I might just be able to take care of the issue myself instead. This just isn't the case with a bank.
