> "we were led to believe they were best in class"

Why were so many of us listening to people who would abandon their own intellectual agency to such a degree?

Undisciplined

How many people confidently asserted that ColdCard was the best in class or something to that effect, without having done the work to verify the claim?

The various posters on the internet, podcasters, etc. are all saying things like "we were told they were the gold standard" "we were led to believe they were best in class".

Folks were just told they were the best, and repeated it to their friends and each other until eventually everyone was just told. Taken for granted.

If you didn't think so, NVK shat on you on X and no one stood up for you because they all wanted to stay part of the cool kids.

Who told them? Who led them to believe?
