Factual claims are not the same as fraud. Lots of people consume vitamin supplements. Why? Fraud? No, people believe what they want to believe about products that are legal to sell.

CASE tools were/are no different. You and I have our concerns but P.T. Barnum reminds us, "there's a sucker born every minute!"

The task of unifying and consolidating all of the worthwhile details required in Iconic notation to truly capture the complexity of the thing was never going to be easy nor a finite goal. (e.g. it's a whack-a-mole exercise that doesn't end)

But quite honestly, we are on the same page. If you liken it to fraud - not my monkey, not my circus.
