"Genius", "exciting", "perfect", "subhuman" - have you noticed the common trend of exaggerating the distribution of titles that are supposed to be rare, and thus lowering their use?
Today every 4-year-old is the genius of the generation, and every TV sting is the most shocking you will ever see in your life.
Today each of us is "righteous."
It has not always been like this.
"The title 'righteous' is most often used to indicate that he is an uplifted person, acting before the rule of law and his leadership is superior to the social standard" - and I do not say that, but wrote on Wikipedia.
Hence it should have been agreed long ago that it is not justified to call just an air conditioner technician as righteous with a certificate and medal.
Whereas thus, Chaim climbs a challenge every week on the steps of some building peeling and bursting live into the living room of some professional, just to justify his righteousness.
Within minutes the living room is filled with proud parents, neighbors and children, balloons and medals, and the extras play themselves surprised, as they project a pre-filmed image story, hugging and handing out medals, and everything is artificial and exaggerated, and Dudu Topaz's spirit hovers over them all.
Etgar said in the previous episode that 75 percent of the respondents came out righteous, but not all of them he presented on screen.
The righteous who are chosen to be broadcast, are exaggerated.
And in the same breath, if a challenge filters the righteous, how does he decide which of the crooks to hang in the town square?
This season we got instances where the program team buried a tin for professionals with a bad reputation, convinced us why they should not be trusted, and then invited them to a planned ambush.
This engineer takes the sting out of the important thing, and these are the sting acts that are captured on camera.

The winning formula of the format is built on equal field conditions for all professionals and on an agreed-upon trap for all: open a loophole for the thief, and then examine who the random people shared to sting.
The plan, as we knew it, was not meant to pre-select potential crooks and righteous people, and then put them into a situation just so you could intensify their bad or good deeds.
The desire to excite and anger, to inflate and increase as much as possible, stems from the fact that "Yitzat Tzadik", in essence, is a program that awards people for doing the minimum required of them, for being human and doing their job.
And if there is a challenge to hand out medals for that, then it mostly symbolizes what is screwed up in our country.
