Integrity is more than soundness of moral character; it also refers to someone's honesty.

When you say something like, "Now I am not sure whether I should trust the results"... I think you're implicitly questioning the author's honesty.

Same goes for this: "It's just when you have been around on the net as many of us have for so long you just realize that normally if something is too good to be true it probably is."

Anyway, don't mean to debate you on any of this. You had asked where you were wrong, so I just thought I'd share how your comments came across to this outside observer.




I was commenting on the "I produced these great results. Want to buy some of the same?" which is archetypical in sales.

That has nothing to do with the integrity or honesty of the person, which I have repeatedly praised.

It's the difference between saying "you are X" and saying "what you said is X"
