I'd like to think that life is not simply a hoodwinking competition. Sadly, in a lot of ways it is, but we have to resist the temptation of letting our society slide completely in that direction.

A bright yellow box isn’t fine print and isn’t deceitful. And expecting people to read and understand what they are doing is not a particularly high bar.
Sometimes, it really is okay to blame the victim.
