But I'm just a little guy.

I also worry people mean different things when they say capitalism.
To some it is the use of money to exchange goods and services, others use it to mean the general ownership of property rights, others more specifically refer to capital vs labor in terms of pay, or lack of corporate regulation.

Shoddy = Falsifying data? Makes us seem cynical and likely the public will spite us.
Shoddy = bad methods? Still harmful because some people believe it.
Claiming you identified the effect of beauty by ranking org presidents does not help us, gives jerks cover, and makes us look like like schmucks.
