	Personally, the distinction is between making money off people that are financially aware enoughto be making decisions like that sensibly versus going after people that have proven themselves incompetent at life in general and money in particular in order to squeeze the last bit of solvency out of them.
Payday loan companies are saying that if you pay the loan back on time the APR is meaningless and so it is. However, they're going into business betting that the people they're lending to won't be paying it back. Other institutions are betting that you will.
Perhaps that's overly simplistic, but I'm not an accountant.
