"Why should it be assumed OTC "investors" would quickly learn, when they are not interested in learning anything?"

History - and I'm talking going back millennia - shows that is correct.

Look at how many BILLIONS of people still believe that a bunch of fictional books composed from 4,500 to 1,200 years ago are the direct word of a deity.

One of the biggest groups to target in pennyscams is fundamentalist Christians. It's a very common target for affinity fraud.

People who rely upon irrational belief systems are nott often swayed by evidence, experiment, or experience if it in any way conflicts with their pre-conceived beliefs (religious or otherwise). People inherently find it very difficult to admit to themselves that they were wrong and believed in baloney. They will do almost anything to maintain the belief that they were right and explain away contrary evidence. Time after time after time.
