And you are correct. You also say "my current belief is that you teach people how to create 'information products,' which I am actually very opposed to for a number of reasons I list to Mead." However, every non-fiction book that's ever been sold (whether an ebook or not) is an information product. You also say "I would also be interested in a defense of how information products are ethical, and represent a good value to the consumer." However, asking whether information products represent a good value to the customer is like asking whether cars are a good value to the customer. Some cars are, some are not. Same with information products. Also, with regard to Project Mojave being a get rich quick scheme, you say "Just because someone has to work hard on a Mojave project, does not mean they don’t want to make a lot of money fast." However, classifying a program by the intents of its subscribers (who generally don't want to get rich quick) is incorrect. A girl you take out on a date is not "easy" just because YOU want to have sex with her on a first date. Also, creating a $3k to $5k business within 3 months (the purpose of products mojave) hardly counts as "get rick quick" . . . many people wouldn't even accept a job that produces these results.
