      I’m going to let you in on a little secret.

      They don’t disappear because of some conspiracy.

      They disappear because they don’t do what they claim to. Or they only perform that way in a small scale on a lab bench. Or they are too expensive. Or vastly many other reasons.

      I think this xkcd statement is equivalent enough: when someone says that they cured cancer in a petri dish, keep in mind that so does a hand gun.
