Comment on What we can learn from AirBNB and ransackgate

You might find it more convincing, or less convincing, but it is BS. Go read Overcoming Bias for a while. People often believe they can tell when someone else is lying, but they are often wrong (usually about 50%, that is the same as randomly guessing). Actually paying attention to the information they provide, that is reading what they have written, is much more accurate.

Only in #4 does he actually give good advice. "Fix the freaking problem".
