'scam, avoid' tells you nothing. 'i hit profit target but they voided it citing a consistency rule i can quote' tells you a lot, you can check if that rule exists and decide if its reasonable. the emotional conclusion is worthless, the factual chain of events is gold. extract the chain, drop the verdict.</p>
