There are not a few people that will buy something that costs 50K who would not touch exact same  item were it priced at 25K .
Seen it happen a hundred times on everything from autos to audio ,watches to rings , shoes to suits .
So has everybody else who pays attention .
That is not written in stone is why I said "not a few" which is not everyone .
Of course there are humble rich like Buffet and ego-manics who need gold plated bathrooms , so elementary it doesn't need saying .
You need not take me seriously .
A pretty smart scientist said," what you can measure doesn't matter, what matters you can't measure' .

randy-11 , When Mercedes came here in late 50's they couldn't give them away, sold them as same price as in Germany. Only G.I's knew them and that as German taxis .

In sixties came back and sold them for over twice German price and the rest is history . Of course we all know Consumer Reports is a liberal rag who lies about how unreliable they are .

No, I am quoting William Cameron, a famous social scientist .
Science is based on faith as well and that is obvious .

I know one thing about the Scientific Method . Without fail, those who put all their faith in it never understand human nature .
