   There is nothing wrong with making smart decisions based on understanding   
   what the product or service is that you are paying your money for to get.   
      
   But the only people who say better and/or cheaper is no good for them are   
   people like you, who almost always, in my experience, don't understand a   
   single thing about that product or service which they are purchasing.   
      
   People like you are think there is only one quality metric. Price   
   They buy by price BECAUSE they don't understand what it is they're buying.   
      
   And there is nothing wrong with that.   
      
   What's wrong is thinking that those who buy by UNDERSTANDING what they're   
   buying are somehow wrong. They're not. They know the product rather well.
