The account name is a big sign. If it were Freeman himself or his personal assistant, it would have been u/MorganFreeman. If it's a marketing team/press agent, /u/ObilivionMovie makes total sense. Y'know what I mean? If you're marketing yourself, you go for "MorganFreeman." If you're marketing the movie, then go "OblivionMovie." Which by the way, doesn't even feature Freeman on the front of its main ad posters.

Secondly, check out this answer from the mods explaining that they verified him. I totally understand that old people especially don't like to type. So it makes sense if someone else is doing the typing for him. But that's the point - if someone else is doing the typing for him, that should free up the real OP to verbally express himself with longer answers. Either it's a press agent - who is more likely to treat this as some fan jerk event where short answers are acceptable, and who is more likely to not be familiar with the style (and notoriety) of Reddit AMAs - or else this is literally Morgan Freeman alone in his hotel room, figuring out how to use his iPad and trying to get the keyboard to work to reply to 100 questions. The mod's explanation tries to point it toward the latter scenario, and but um, that would be weird and sad.

Off the topic? Hell, no. This is smack dab in the middle! And I thought this was what the original question was asking, just very diplomatically. OP gave a technical, diplomatic answer that sidestepped the juicy stuff, though, basically. Providence and pedigree goes out the window when you're dealing with imperialism and money and stuff like that.

I think an implicit secondary part of that question was: is over prescribing treatment not uncommon in dentistry, for the sake of the money? If so, any statistics or studies done on this?
