Ah, this is really something, how you give words the meaning that was not intended. All words, as we know, have numerous meanings. In this case I used the meaning of "give credence to".
But let me explain with a couple of simple examples.
You are taken your girlfriend out to dinner and you want to go to a new place. So, you look on the internet for something in the line of what you to have in mind. Mind you, she is a relatively new girlfriend, so you want to make a good impression.
You run into one restaurant online that has three fives and glowing reviews while a similar number give it either a one or two. I would dismiss the place right away, assuming, naturally, that the high ratings are either family, friends or cronies of the owners. But you would consider it anyway. Once you get there you find that the parking lot is practically empty and it doesn't look particularly appealing otherwise. Yet, you would still insist in giving the place a try.
The other example is similar. You are thinking of buying a book, electronically or otherwise. But there are only six reviews: three five and three one or two's. Yet, you would still buy it. But would pass it up. I would not "listen" to the three positive reviews with a grade of five. Again, I would assume that those reviews are the ones of family, friends or cronies.
In the case or RLTR, we have something similar. The difference of course is that an investor can throw thousands of dollars into it and be out of their money. Insisting of going to the restaurant could, at worse, lose you a girlfriend. Buying the book lose you only a few dollars.
Thus, considering the fact that RLTR has done absolutely nothing in twelve years and that there are numerous detractors, anyone putting their money here would be a complete fool. Not just a gambler, but a complete fool. So, I would not "listen" to any of those who said the slightest thing that is not thoroughly negative. How can a business for which the management received millions of dollars not generate income after 12 years is beyond the pale. That's not incompetence; that's a scam.
