The only reason I still like the AV system is that it ensures people read and understand documents. They take the time to educate themselves and fully understand something and possibly formulate questions that have real substance.

It's like rider contracts for musicians... you ever read the ridiculous shit musicians and performers put in appearance contracts? It's to ensure the reader says 'what the fuck, do you really want only brown m and ms in the candy bowl?" When someone meets these ridiculous requirements or asks about them, you know they have read and understand the entire contract or are willing to ask when shit doesn't make sense to them.

In this day and age you have people asking the most ridiculously plain, unresearched and uneducated questions, that have no effort behind them, when a simple 5 minute google search can yield answers to all if not most of those basic questions, and when you have information, you can formulate better questions that will tell you more than what gun to buy, why it's good, why people like it, why this why that, for example.

It's still also a reasonable method of policing bullshit and potential bullshit for private sales.
