Its not silly, but profound knowledge of the human

The obvious signs are there, you just didn't see them. But don't worry I was expecting resistance in the form of denial & laughter, its typical when something is posed that supersedes the comprehension levels of mere mortals. And I'm not saying this in a condescending way. Most people are gullible & obliviant, thats why so many fall victim to liars, be it politicians, clergymen, in the business world or whatever. They thrive on the innocence of people because they tend to believe anything they're told. Why do you think that advertising works so good? Or why so many sheeple believe in angels? Because people swallow it all like candy... But don't tell them that or they'll attack the messenger and not the aggressor that lied to them in the first place. Its like a Stockholm syndrome...
I've seen this behavior a zillion times!
Awhile back I was listening to a CC of another stock, so I only had his voice to work with, and at one specific moment during that call his tone changed. Just when he said that shareholders don't have to fear dilution. Actually he said sh..sh..shareholders. He stuttered for a split second, because his subconscience was playing a trick on him because he deliberately lied. No one picked that signal up, but I did... and guess what? Millions of shares were dumped on the meek that believed & defended the CEO... Just saying.
You would be amazed how easy it is to play with people' mind!
Last night I watched a sociological experiment that proved once again how easy it is. In a random street a woman walks up to a person and simply asks for direction to a nearby mall. The guy explains it, and she thanks him & moves on. Of course this was a setup because the host of the show then walked to that guy and said, can you pick that woman out in this lineup of pictures of 6 different women? Most of test subjects (this test was done multiple times) picked the wrong woman. Just goes to show how much detail people miss. But the actual test revolved around those who picked the right woman. Those people who selected the right picture were then asked if "she" was the right one. The host of the show gathered all six pictures, but instead of putting the right picture of that woman they selected on top of the deck of pictures he deliberately put another picture on top. Half of them said yes, she's the one LOL & the other half was sure of their choice, but the host asked again & put doubt in their mind by simply saying you didn't pick that woman the first time... and they all changed their mind! See how easy it is?!
I could go on & on...
Hundreds of tests exist that show how gullible people are... Yet no one wants to feel stupid right?! No one likes to be reminded how easy they're fooled. Tho it happens all the time... Just saying.
Anyway, have to go now.
Apologies accepted bro, no worries...
GLTY too!
