"It costs more, so it must be better, right?"

"It costs more, so it must be better, right?" So if the big guys charge so much they must be better, right? Do you disagree?

This kind of thinking does, indeed, penetrate the marketplace. There always seems to be some "advantage" to being the highest priced item among many to choose from -- think of cars or diamonds or designer clothes.

It seems to reflect an ideal that implies that for something to be really good it has to have taken a long time and a lot of money to develop, and therefore has to either by very widely used or be very expensive -- to recover the costs in a rational economic way.

Accordingly, WE DISAGREE!

But you can only know if something is really better if you try it in a true "apples to apples" comparison. If you're persuaded by the argument that "it must be better, because it costs more" then you don't need anything as mundane as a rational comparison.
