I do sincerely respect your position. I would prefer that the favor be reciprocal, but it is simply not necessary, and speaks of another red Herring: allowing any endeavour to become personal. For me, my 'shoe' may well be GreatBear's suggestion of 'gadfly'. It feels like it is fitting, so be it. I am not a theorist of dark and imagined far out possibilities. What I regret in our culture is the death of scepticism.
Trust in the Industry when freely given and without consideration is not wise. We all have motives, goals, and issues, frequently unattached and ill fitting to those of other's.
If anyone is doubting the primary motive of any investigation, anywhere, I will remind you it is control. It is not sinister, it is the nature of the enterprise. It is not a violation to take the product with a dash of salt.
