Can you give us an example of "internet wisdom" that has caught you out, had you reaching for the Visa card, or writing a response?
I think I helped innoculate myself to a lot of that stuff in my early 20's when I went down the wannabe audiophile rabbithole. Not that I had money back then, but I do remember treating my CDs with green pens and amourall spray.

Really thought I could tell a difference until my friend had the same untreated copy of Dark Side of the Moon and we did blind tests

Learned to have a healthy skepticism in life, including myself
