It's certainly interesting but it's a hard document to swallow. They
purposefully try and make their pool lower by making the scam so stupid
that anyone who falls for it is clearly a good mark?
My anecdotal research combines more with low-paid labor who simply
follow what has worked combined with massive inequities in scales of
economy that I don't see well reflected in this research.
