The ignorant outnumber the knowledgeable by magnitudes. Lots of
ignorant people paying small sums of money add up to quite a lot
(politicians exploit that regularly).
Also those expensive consultants find it much easier to get lots of
money from ignorant people on a regular basis :).
But if you're the sort who actually cares, it's easier to sleep at
