I don't think we have an issue with that - what we have an issue with is someone who sells knives and his friend who has come up with a badly working sharpening stone walking into a cooking forum claiming cutlery makes a major difference to the taste of food, and how the usual way of tasting food must be flawed because it doesn't show the difference.
