      It is, but teenagers and the emotionally stunted fall into it so they can feel superior.

      It’s basically a diet conspiracy theory. It lets adherents think they’re special and have figured something out that regular people didn’t. That’s a lot more comforting than realizing they’re just regular people because they aren’t mature enough to see obscurity as a good thing.

      Yeah, not particularly fun, either. Would be very convenient if you were looking for an excuse to never bother with anything though.
