You're actually agreeing with the author without realizing it. Why? Because you decided to buy X because it was valued at a certain price and you could afford it. You didn't buy a "cheap" (in quality) version of the product (since you did your research). Unknowingly you are agreeing with the author. :-)
- schiffern 14y agoExcept the author is arguing that you should use "expensive" as a heuristic (instead of "cheap"). wccrawford is arguing that quality is orthogonal to price.
- undergroundhero 14y agoNo, he's not. This doesn’t always work. Sometimes a cheaper product is actually better. But consider removing price as the default decision criteria. He's advising you to stop buying the cheapest available, not to buy the most expensive available.
- pbhjpbhj 14y agoYour last sentence contradicts 2 out of 3 of those you quote. He says sometimes a cheaper product is better, you say he's telling us not to buy the cheapest [but he said it could be better]. He says remove price as the main criteria, you say use price as the main criteria to rule out the cheapest products.
