The atrocities committed at concentration camps in WW2 [US had 'em too!] 2. The Mei Lai massacre in Viet Nam 3. Advertizing slogans [Not intended as inflamatory towards any particular group...] Horrible attrocities of this century -- in no particular order. The ancient Romans had an expression "CAVEAT EMPTOR" and I do not think things have changed much since them. I think that the job of advertizers is to show you why the product they hawk is the best in the universe -- even if it has some flaws. Try before you buy. But when you get right down to it -- almost any commercial chess program will kick the butt of almost every chess player on earth. Why fret over whether you lose 100-1-0 verses 99-2-0? If your life depends on chess [you are a GM] then you are smart enough to try them all and rich enough to buy them all.
