- maxbond 4y agoFor sure, I wouldn't call that a con, but I see your point.
- GauntletWizard 4y agoIt's a form of trickery, exploiting your confidence that X is safe or that X is dangerous or that X is food. It's not the same as the form of fraud known as a confidence scheme, but it is a con. Nearby in the conceptual space if not exactly the same.
- maxbond 4y agoYeah for sure, I don't mean to disagree in a petty way, you've raised a good point & I buy it. Whatever small disagreement about whether that's a con isn't substantial.
