Sustainable Growth VS hedging gamblers

I've read several of these narratives and most of them have me asking one simple question: Why are these guys overthinking this? From multi-stage "check systems" to fortune tellers reading the minds of retail investors, it's all too obvious they are as lost as the people reading their narratives.
