> There are lots of not-unlikely scenarios like the above which mean any conclusion you might try to draw would have a very low level of accuracy. But it sounds like all my conclusions are still accurate in all your hypothetical scenarios. I never tried to guess which phone you had. Only a few basic things that would be prime targets for advertising. Such as in every hypothetical you mention, the fact that <pick a celebrity> uses a certain phone has no influence on the purchase. Except maybe the gift, but then it's not about your thoughts on phones, but the one purchasing the gift (hopefully they know you well enough that you prefer function over form). > I'm just making generic points that those guesses are essentially worthless Not at all. They may not 100% apply to your directly, but a company isn't selling to you. They're selling to a statistical distribution including you. The guesses are only worthless now that you're offering hypothetical scenarios. Your earlier comment is definitely telling about your decisions in using and purchasing a phone.
