> Whenever people buy something which they are completely unable to differentiate from a fake, are they really being defrauded when someone sells them the fake?

Yes.

I think the point was that the real thing is just as much (or as little) of a fraud as the fake is.
Especially because, if someone's been buying fakes all their life, how could they possibly know what real Aloe is like?
