sports cars provide their claims (fun, performance, image, etc), healing crystals don't.

No one buys a sports car to remediate a physical illness. ( well, maybe depression or other related psych problems? )

The car salesman's hyperbole will not kill me, in most cases.

A person telling me to use a gem to heal cancer is, in effect, harming me by prompting me to waste my precious time on ineffective treatments with no basis in reality.
