- 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.
