Sure. I don't need to invalidate someone else's experience.
- mikeash 8y agoWhat if they were wasting a bunch of money on it and trying to convince others to do the same?
- PascLeRasc 8y agoHow is it a waste if it's one person spending their money on something they enjoy? You're not compelled to also do that.
- mikeash 8y agoA reduction in their ignorance would make them enjoy the other choice just as much, but for less money. They’re spending more just because they don’t know the facts. I consider that a waste.
- PascLeRasc 8y agoYou're projecting. You think someone doesn't know the facts, but they know for a fact that they personally enjoy some certain wine or speakers or whatever. That's not ignorant.
- mikeash 8y agoIf the hypothetical person knows that the wines are identical but still buys the more expensive one and enjoys it more, then fine. Does that really happen? Even if they’re ignorant, I don’t care how they enjoy themselves. The problem is when they start writing guides and reviews encouraging others to follow their ignorance.
