Perhaps you should think about where my comparison STOPS, but I do hold ALL announcements to the standards of science to the extent that it BETTER be true, regardless of any advertising added to fluff it up. I'm not saying ANY of them live up to it, I'm just saying I have pretty big demands that will likely never be met, but I'm hardly going to just lose rational thought because other people try to make a living by manipulating others.
Anyway, I don't care what I'm "expected" to do ABF. If they make an announcement and I'm not impressed, I do nothing. I won't "boo" or insult them, yes that's rude. I don't just clap like a seal out of politeness though. When did it become RUDE to not compliment everyone despite whether they deserve it or not? If I'm not impressed, I don't cheer, I don't clap, I just stand there. Does it make for an uncomfortable situation? Probably. Could I offend the person? Most certainly. However, they'll have to deal with it.
I just realized some IDIOT is JUST ABOUT to respond by saying "I bet DJ boos little children because they can't sing in tune". No, no I don't. Use common sense.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
