[ExI] A better option than fish oil?

[Adrian Tymes]

Anything where the person pitching it claims that big organizations
"don't want you to know about" it, is almost always lying.  Rather,
the big organizations - if they are aware of it at all - have duly
analyzed it and found that it is less useful to customers (i.e., us),
at the price point it could be manufactured at, than their current
product is at its price point.

(If you get benefit X from $Y worth of the brand name product, and
this alternative would give you 2*X benefit for $10*Y, most
customers will simply buy twice as much of the brand name
product.  Granted, the math is usually not this simple - diminishing
returns, and so on - but the full analysis amounts to the same
conclusion.)

Often times, this analysis will be filed away on the heap of failed
research any sufficiently large organization undertakes, and most
employees of the company will not be specifically aware of this
particular failure (because they have had no reason to spend their
time reading about it).

This happens often enough, that it is a safe conclusion to make
simply from the observation that this alternative is being promoted,
by its maker, as something its big competitors "don't want you to
know about".  If it were truly, provably, superior, a better pitch
would be to headline the provable superiority - and if the maker's
marketers are competent, they will know this.  Therefore, either
they are incompetent (which lends suspicion about the technical
accuracy of claims made) or they know it is not in fact provably
superior.
