First time I met Rijas, I had no idea of his claims until we talked about 10 minutes. My son walked away after about 5 minutes. His prices were way out of line so I left. Also, his lifetime warranty speech.
I would not interrupt a sales. Like stated, it's really none of my business. Buyer beware. Do your homework.

Caveat emptor. If someone making a large purchase isn't savvy enough to spot BS sales talk, they're probably not savvy enough to take your advice either. There's a psychological factor here too. The average victim of cons or crooked salesmen are susceptible for a reason--they want to believe. I don't understand it, but some people discount research and facts, but then place huge amounts of weight on an emotional connection between buyer and seller. Suckers in the making. (I've actually got a buddy like that.)
I say, let the market work. Advise your family and close friends, but leave strangers alone.

To quote the great philosopher Elwood, "it wasn't lies, it was just bullsh*t."
I equate it to someone sticking their finger into a toaster...but with far less entertainment value.
You just about got it memorized. Sounds like you listen to the pitch one to many times. I bet PH could add some real value to this thread.
How does it fair to a cat chasing a laser light? LOL
I would not just post up at the table and run people off. But as has already been said if asked I would definitely give my opinion.
If someone asked me about Rijas, or was indicating to me that they were interested in a Rijas I would offer the info I have on the matter and let them make the decision. As a personal policy I feel it is better to let people make their own mistakes and learn from them, or not.
In fact, that is the same thing I would do regardless of the manufacturer, and I would expect my buddies to do the same for me.
It only takes a minimum of effort to research their claims and realize they are full of it. If the prospective buyer is unwilling to do that, then they deserve the lesson.
