My point was not to paint 'industry folks' as hucksters and sensationalists, although that might well be the reality of many in the industry. My point was that, when reading information, taking part in various discussions about the merits of this piece of equipment or this method of fishing, consider the source. Industry folks need to sell equipment, guides and outfitters need clients, just like auto dealers need to sell cars. Their view of how things work are, by necessity, different than the consumer of their product or service. Certainly there are honest and honorable industry folks, and those that are in the business merely to make money at any cost or to stroke their ego are sad, unfortunate folks, and quite frankly I feel sorry for them.
