the problem is that a the kind of people i think lee is talking about is that they think they know something and they teach it to others, but it tends to be stuff that doesn't actually work. those who teach it tend to assume something works based on their own logic, but in fact they have not tried it or have tried it and but have not found it to be successful. they assume, however, that it will be successful at some point.

and a lot of those people say it with such confidence and assurance that newbs and those who aren't making money tend to listen. they assume that much confidence means it has worked for the person posting.

there was one such person, and the funny thing is he's actually a really nice guy. but nothing he does in adult actually works - he's sure it will, though, and got tons of part timers and newbs to do what he strongly advised and taught step by step. the difference was that he did adult as a hobby and didn't need to earn any money, and when all these newbs and part timers took his advice, it tended to cost them money and time, and never had a return.
