His point isn’t about people who do not realize they might be tricked; it’s about people who do not realize that a specific contract is (potentially) tricking them. They can still be aware, in the abstract, that there are businesses out there that will try to trick them, and even that the one they are currently dealing with might be trying to trick them. They need merely be unaware of the fact that they are actually being tricked, which is a requisite of being tricked in the first place.
When you buy sausage at the store, you don’t make a significant effort to ensure that there are no rat guts in the particular brand you buy. However, if you’ve heard that sausage occasionally has rat guts in it, you may reasonably support laws that ensure sausage does not contain such ingredients, even if it costs you a few pennies.
Your position requires people believe themselves to be wholly immune to deception, which is absurd. David’s actual position merely requires they be unaware of the deception in a specific contract, not that they be unaware of their ability to be deceived.
That just isn’t what he is saying.
