There's nothing that isn't within the realm of logic or reason. There's never any reason to abandon reason in cases that involve large sums of money and frankly that's incredibly faulty logic.

Say I make a box full of random gears and cogs and such, pieces that cost me $100. I sell it for $1,000,000,000 dollars, claiming it will improve the enjoyment of your life. Despite the fact that the lie is easily disprovable, should someone still make wide profit margins on simply scamming people, even if someone does feel better after using it (placebo)? No, of course not. However, by your 'logic' I should purchase all of the devices that make claims to improve something even if they're easily disprovable just to test it for myself. That's just simply a bad idea.

That is not to say I abandoned reason all together in those cases, but I've found there are times for both. |
