Its a well known principle. Advertising never affects ME
Im too smart, how many times have we heard that?
It's part of the overriding fallacy that you can find out about people
by asking them questions about themselves. Even if people knew
themselves, which they largely don't, would they be forthcoming?
Evem Mr Brodie, memetics expert extrodinaire. Why does he like
"fine cognac" so much instead of the cheap stuff? He's been got at
that's why. He's now convinced that if you let the stuff rot in a
barrel
for 12 years the "different taste" (I'm not denying it is different)
is actually a better taste. Wrong, try again. Wipe away that
indoctination and taste it again, the cheap stuff is just fine. Why pay
all that extra to have it rot for 12 years and pay some henry and
henrieta to "lunch darling" while they design the next memetic poison
for your mind.
Would that it were true. Unfortunately, I've done blind tastings and
almost invariably rank wines right down the line, most expensive to
least. Of course, since cognac and other spirits cannot be advertised
on TV in the USA and expensive wine never is, it's not a great example.
Or is it just that you like the expensive stuff cos sombody
else
is paying?
Ah, that makes the taste that much sweeter, doesn't it? But you guys
better get on the stick buying my Memetics Bookstore products! My
quarterly sales commissions are down to $5.25 from last quarter's
$11.24!
