You clearly are selling something, too: doubt. (Note your appeal to your own authority.)

Don't kid yourself. Skepticism is not neutrality. These days throwing shade is a growth industry. There's money to be made shorting just like there is going long. Neither is the objective, disinterested position, although skepticism always enjoys the appearance of prudence, at least to the ignorant.

Anyone who says they're not trying to sell you something lacks self-awareness about what they themselves have been sold.
