It amazes me that a percentage of your percentage does so because to call out liars would be impolite and lead to discomfort.

Calling out fraudsters also gets you attacked and harassed and there is essentially nothing you can do to stop it.

I don't even expect people to call out fraudsters. But I do wish they would quit promoting them, or minimizing how much they are indeed fraudsters ("well, maybe he's not been totally honest about that, but what about...").
