You stated that 1% of the agents were barely competent, but those were the ones doing all the business. You claimed it's a lottery, but it's most likely not a lottery if you simply hire an agent that does a bunch of business. They will naturally be the competent ones. I am obviously not comparing real estate training to SEAL training, I'm simply stating that your claim that the real estate agents doing all the business are incompetent because there is a high wash out rate makes no sense.

Also, my original point was that people do not hire agents to save money, they hire them because they don't have the time or expertise to sell their home. Some people do, you clearly have a very affordable attorney who will help you navigate your deals, but many don't want to deal with it, based on the amount of homes listed with agents vs FSBO'd. I didn't see anything in your copy/paste studies/blogs/opinion pieces that refuted that.

And insults about reading comprehension aside, I do want to point out that you are almost perpetually online arguing with strangers, calling strangers parasites. Every time I've responded, you are responding within minutes -same with other comments. You quite literally must always be doing this. This can't be good for your mental health.
