Sure, you want justification? Go to www.google.com.sg, and type
"Network Marketing" in the searchbox. If you're too lazy, I'll be
happy to supply you with some rather informative links. Don't
forget that when the concept of franchising first came about, most
people thought it was a scam as well.
You don't learn much about history, do you? It always repeats
itself because we fail to study it. We look, but do not observe.
It's rather irrelevant of you to bring in a military example to
support your paragraph. It doesn't make much sense. You would be
better off using a business example for verification.
Instead of waiting for others here to provide you with the relevant
information, why don't you look it up yourself and share it here?
Afterall, isn't this a thread about finding out why people believe
or not believe in network marketing?
Besides, don't you think your signature is rather ironic in terms
of this thread here? I suspect network marketing is somewhere
between the being laughed at and listened at phase.
That said, here are a few references I found on the Net.
A few websites for reference:

If you would like a good read on network marketing, go for Richard
Poe's Wave 4: Network Marketing in the 21st Century.
Lastly, just want to add that since our learning capability is
based on experience, it is flawed. Reason being what happened once,
may not happen again, despite the possibility of it repeating
itself.
