Sturgeon's Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law) states "90% of everything is crap" so you're not too far off.

How plausible the argument to the value is depends on the eloquence of the person under the Law. This is the logic of hoarders everywhere.
