You're right, I did conflate endorsement with if this actually is fraud, my bad. Probably the core of the disagreement here is different definitions of "fraud"

You're right, I did conflate endorsement with if this actually is fraud, my bad. Probably the core of the disagreement here is different definitions of "fraud". For me personally, information that is misrepresented and hides behind the mask of an unreasonable amount of work to be correctly understood is a form of fraud, and I know others don't share that definition.
