In the day of "fake news", close is often enough . . .

Every day people on eBay bid thousands of dollars on watches and other items offered by sellers who registered the day the auctions started, even though there is no logical reason to believe a newbie miraculously popped out of the ground with a $10,000 item for which they'd happily accept $500.

If they'll bid on a mythical, nonexistent super-deal Rolex, they'll bid without blinking on a watch with a few errors in a listing from a guy with feed-back over 23,000.

Personally, I don't like inconstancies because I am a skeptic and more than a little suspicious, but few people today are as picky as I am . . .
