Maybe an amateur might but I would assume you aren't an amateur.
A seller having 5 stars doesn't mean they aren't selling fakes, I could give you really good customer service and ship the part quickly and it could still be fake. It is not hard to get 5 stars if you do your job right even if you are hawking fakes. If it were real why would I sell it below cost if it were real, I would lose money.
Sure maybe Shimano buyers have more of an issue but that is a poor cop-out for it not being fake. "It cannot be fake because Shimano is more likely to be fake"? Come on that is a poor argument. Because one thing is faked more doesn't mean another thing cannot also be faked.
The spacing between double and triple chainrings is identical, so this weird philosophical nonsense you're going on about using two out of three positions on a shifter is ridiculous. Especially when you keep changing your objections - as if you really have no idea what you are talking about, but it is too late to back down.
This isn't a Rolex for $200. This is a $90 MSRP shifter set for $60.
