Good point.

Not shocking. The surprise is in the willingness to destroy the credibility of an industry. There may be two or three trustworthy books left in CR, but there is no way this doesn't affect them in the long run. They turned the whole of CR into quicksand. CR is now a PR nightmare. The watchdog and the scam book having beers together. That's a lasting image.
