Home Critic's Corner

Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

I fear we inhabit different planets!

What's common sense to people like me is unimaginably irrational and unlikely to 'people like you' (sorry, not a phrase I'd normally use)! I think real-world corruption - or even just influence or suggestion - is a great deal more sophisticated and indirect than your question suggests. Also, isn't it a problem that, if you're denial is true, we're left with a scenario of mass altruism on the part of the industry?* How plausible is that? Put simply: why perks, then?

*Obviously (I hope, and to save time), I'm not disputing that individual acts of altruism occur, but that it's enshrined in a common business practice ... ?

BTW Thanks for the entertaining analogy!
