Everyone... please focus... (I am getting pretty tired myself sounding like a broken record).

Direct mail marketing works SO poorly, you need to send THOUSANDS of mailers, AND you need to send these thousands of mailers SEVERAL times to get a deal.

So:

BECAUSE the performance is SO low you need to send thousands to COMPENSATE for its poor performance AND hit the receivers several times BECAUSE the performance is so low to get a deal.

Conclusion: "Direct mail marketing works"

WHAT THE HECK?!

People, stop. By you all not thinking about what you are saying, this absolute nonsense spreads like a virus reinforcing the belief that because everyone regurgitates the same wrong stuff, it must be true. PLEASE stop this.

Let's end this false notion right here and now. Let's all make a vow to really think, analyze, verify before we dress up nonsense as "facts" or "data".

Imagine buying a car from a car brand that ALWAYS breaks down.

You are telling others: The car works fine. You just need to bring it in continuously every other day for repairs, to keep fixing the stuff that constantly breaks, to make it run, so because the car is always being fixed (because it always breaks), my conclusion is the car works, and so the car brand is A-Okay.

That doesn't make any sense, does it? 

Please stop saying DMM works. If it did work, why are 90%+ of the people doing DMM struggling?

Why isn't everyone doing DMM a multi-millionaire yet?

NO it doesn't work.

Can you get a deal from it? Yes, it is absolutely possible. So is winning the lotto. That doesn't mean "buying lotto works". No one is debating whether or not it is POSSIBLE to get a deal doing DMM. But claiming it "works" is a HUGE stretch.

It is like saying "if it doesn't;t work, then you didn;t do it enough". Do more.

When something doesn't;t work you don't do more to make it work. Come on people!

It's ok, stay consistent. One of them HAS to reach orbit.

I mean... Do I really need to give more examples?

I can go on.

Hope you understand my point. Not an attack on you. Just frustrated with how difficult it is for people to adopt intelligence and common sense, backed by data and evidence, yet it is effortless for people to religiously embrace absolute NONSENSE.
