GP's post makes it sound like the father is stuck with wanting to love it, and needing to show how much he loves it, to justify his choice and stave off buyer's remorse. That's fairly common when people make a purchase that's too expensive and then is not quite as perfect as they had hoped. Obviously we don't know GP's dad, but that was clearly the intent of GP's post.

Yea that’s exactly it.

I was reminded of campfire discussions of specific brands of motorcycles while reading GP's post. Some of those owners really go out of their way to justify the purchase, while I'm pretty sure they're only trying to convince themselves.
