It's obviously not literally true, though. That's what I find irritating, the exaggeration and the tone, and I think it confirms that my prejudice was exactly right. The cycle does not take a huge amount of time, and if it was extreme as people pretend, then we would know it because of inflation rates, and we would all be buying super-ultra-mega sizes of everything. And it's not a low opinion of peoples' intelligence, it's a recognition that people are sensitive to price increases for unchanged products. It's directly dictated by what people feel is fair. I wish we could have articles that don't have the tone of feeding a persecution complex.
