There are many people claiming many things. Not sure which "top" you are referring to, but everybody at the end of a chain (most rich, most political powerful, most popular), generally are selected for being unscrupulous. So not sure why you should ever trust what they say... If you agree, just ignore what most of what those say and find other people to listen to for interesting things. To give a tech example, not many people were listening to Stallman and Linus and they still managed to change a lot for the better.
