The thing I don't like about Vime's theory is that it postulates only two price points. That being said, I buy 200 dollar boots.

- n4r9 8y agoI don't think it postulates two price points, it just uses two for the sake of argumentation.
- Alan_Dillman 8y agoThe essayist doesn't but Vimes world character arc requires that he see the issue in black and white, top and bottom. I'm sure that was an allusion by Prachett: you're not supposed to think like Vimes. His books always have layers of meaning.
