I would still argue that it is possible to educate enough to dramatically reduce its prevalence, as it does require a very large number of consumers to function in any kind of way.

While I'll grant this is unlikely and has little historical precedent, that is true for many things in the modern world. We should keep our eyes on what is possible, not simply what is likely.

Unless you're at a poker table or something.
