I see what you're saying. I understand why you may feel that way. Others have felt the same, you're not the first to bring up the idea. What I explained to them and what they ultimately realized was that in these types of documentaries, it's more accessible when they watch someone who is like them going into a world where they know nothing and they learn together.
On one side, there's your objection, on the other there's the objection that people won't feel like they can do it and will detest the idea because someone who's not like them (already achieved success and is knowledgable) is preaching what to do.
That's why films like "the greatest movie ever sold", and "no impact man" are so successful. It also makes damn good entertainment and is inspiring to watch.
The value to the customer is quite large. their purchase largely goes to charity, they get to watch how someone, like them, earned a million dollars in two years and retired his family. Even if someone can't take any tangible, practical education out of it (which is highly unlikely), it makes damn good entertainment. Yet again, hollywood films like "the pursuit of happyness" are successful for a reason.
I'm not intending to be hard headed in an unjustified way, but I really do not agree with you based on what you've said.
That being said, I'm not opposed to changing my mind and my teachability and willingness to learn is very high, if I can understand where you're coming from and see where I'm at fault.
