People go to supermarkets as well. They expect to puchase solid goods rather then rotten potatoes wrapped in shiny papper.
If you let 'free marketeers' do whateever they consider handy for making profits, then trust me, you should open every single product before purchasing.

This is where market regulation comes into play. Selling stocks or bonds on SE should NOT be any different. Of course those who make living from selling rotten potatoes will brand every attempt to prevent them from doing so as 'communisam' or at least 'slide to socialisam'
but that should not delude people from seeking protection against such practices.

Except for those who mostly buy - tea-bags. {g}
