If I bring up examples they will be flawed because they are populist and because I don't understand banking as well as you do.

Well, if you cite specific examples about what you're referring to that's from a factual and objective source (since there could be thousands of different viewpoints), I would know your premise. Simply calling a whole industry as engaging in deceptive practices as a common occurence -- and freely accepted among those in the industry -- is unfair, absolutely untrue, and does nothing to help the financial system become more effective for society at large.

I didn't call out the whole industry as engaging in deceptive practices as a common occurrence. I do however think there is some deception occurring and that if it isn't uncovered and corrected, it will grow.

You did however did claim that any hint of deception would destroy their business and that therefore deception is not happening.

I think your claim is absurd and does nothing to help the financial system become more effective for society at large.
