I'm sorry, while I fully agree with your statement about the 
confidence boost, I want to point out that this is a terrible 
comparison. I hope that Andrei doesn't get in the business of 
selling snake oil and creating Ponzi schemes [1, 2], accepting 
loss of life for profit [3, 4, 5], allowing a culture of racism 
and homophobia [6, 7], or get everyone in an "abusive 
relationship" [8].
