Great post!
I am not worried about people's feelings as much as I am the truth. Plato says this as much as he says we want to respect our friends but respect the truth more, even if that means we lose our friends in the process.
Making people feel better because they were ripped off and spent a lot of money doesn't help anyone, not even the victim.
I will have to say that sometimes ignorance is bliss. If someone is happy with something, why be a party pooper? When pursuing the truth one should take into account the spirit behind the pursuit as well.
