It wasn't that long ago that there was a political tussle about requiring everybody to put a street number on their house. We've come a long way, baby.

A lesson I learned from my third wife (may she rot in hell, bless her soul) is that smart educated people are easier to con because they are good rationalizers, they fill in the blanks to complete the picture they expect to see. Some dumb guy isn't even aware of the elements of the game, he just notices the $10 is gone and punches you in the nose.
