Everybody with an IQ above room temperature knows that homeopathy is complete and utter bullshit.

Well, if some NewAge customer wants you to sell them homepopathic remedies it's good business to serve them. Much better than letting them find a competitor. Should libraries stop selling religious books because it's all crock?

I watched the 16 minutes first part. There are maybe 2 minutes of original video at the start and 2 more minutes of a Foo Fighter music video, leaving about 10 minutes of House of Number material.

A guided tour would offer more than what google satellite maps does, I don't know how critical that extra information could be and maybe the "security reasons" is just because they're too lazy to find out. Security through obscurity.
