    Re: Reliable Youtube channels for detailing product info and comparisons

    getgoing- It`s from the movie "Chinatown". It means "you can`t always assume you really know what`s-what about some things when you`re on the outside looking in".

    In the movie, a guy says "It`s Chinatown, Jake.." to the protagonist (that`d be "Jake"), who had made incorrect assumptions about something he didn`t really understand. Jake didn`t know what was really going on in Chinatown because he wasn`t a member of that community; we don`t really know what goes on with stuff we see on the internet, so it pays to apply a properly scientific degree of skepticism.

    Thanks for explaining the reference, quite interesting.

    Looks like it`s from a 1974 movie ... I`m curious if the movie is well known enough for most folks today to know about it?
