Well, you have just answered why you didn't, "...check to see if any of the claims stood up to scrutiny...", you are scared they wont, and it would upset the echo chamber world you live in.
"....100s and 100s of hours of expert testimonies and impeccably detailed research in best-selling books..."
Wow, misrepresentations and unchallenged testimonies from those that profit from the gullible, you should do some research on how scams and cons work, because you have been scammed and conned.
DHs posting on social media, and talking youtube heads, are not scientific research.
