I don't know about you, but I have the right to educate anyone I want to
as long as it doesn't bother them. I tought Larry's goal was to educate
buyers that are getting ripped off.

This suggests that you think something else has happened. The sellers
in question know what's going on. They have been educated and probably
never needed it.

Should is a funny thing. No, I would say not. But if it happened, so
what? Also, the key difference is that sets not readily available
through normal retail channels are being sold as rare and the money
people are making is strictly a result of lack of information disbursement.
