I don't remember who said what either way but, for clarification, are we talking about investors directly suggesting that people average down in PTOI...or are we talking about people singing hymns about PTOI and saying PTOI's attributes were "enviable" in order to induce them to invest??

I do remember people being highly positive about PTOI in the past and telling others to get in before the stock goes to the moon because PTOI was 'tik tok'-ing toward riches, among other phrases...but I don't think it matters much whether anyone told people to step onto the mouse trap or just told them that the cheese was absolutely delicious.

It's not bad that people are positive about a stock where they believe the company is a great company...but I don't agree with the tactics used to suppress the opinions of those who don't agree. In this case, the pro-PTOI'ers shot their fellow investors in the foot by not allowing them to hear the opinions which might have saved them near a 100% loss.
