No mater how loudly you say something is does not make it true. I say it can
exist. The only way to prove it is to give it away. I have expressed the
logic behind why it exists. That is as far as I am going to go. BTW, I am
not teaching for pay.

You may have missed the word, most. I doubt that there is much truly free
teaching and in the ancient times, a pupil, often worked as a virtual
servant (for years) for the master until they were ready to go out on their
own. Nepotism also has it's hidden rewards.

I have thought about this a lot. There is only one answer that makes sense
to me, and that is that any large organization that is threatened by any one
person does what they have always done and do. They protect themselves by
what ever means necessary. You can read between the lines for just want that
means.
