If so many people wouldn't fall for claims without any proof, religions themselves would not exist.

All knowledge is incomplete and partial, which is another way of saying "wrong", therefore all "vision" is hallucination. This discussion would not be happening without hallucinators with a crowd sharing their delusion. Humanity generally doesn't find the actual truth sufficiently engaging to accomplish much beyond the needs of immediate survival.

If you want to call it suckering suckers into parting with their money that works too.

It’s not all that different from crypto.

Progress depends on irrational people though. Even if 50 companies fail for every one that succeeds, that’s progress.
