If they wanted to give you bad or misleading information it’s unlikely you’d recognize it, but a fair number of people are trusting it as though those people were incapable of misleading or lying to anyone. And a lot of those people are also the same people who would never trust airline management if a dollar was involved. All I know for sure is that I don’t know who is telling the truth or if they even know the truth themselves, and I simply can’t dedicate years and years studying the topic to find out that answer. Who knows, in 200 years from now medical science may be shaking its head at us over all this the same way we shake our heads at some of the stuff medical science was doing 200 years ago.
