Exactly this. Fashion often conflicts with sense. That is a universal truth. Even though the fashion might be rooted in some form of sense. Mahogany and teak was in fashion around here for a while and oak went out the door. Oak was considered cheap so we painted it. The fashion then change to lye treated. Then we went with soap treated oak. And then one day Ikea came into fashion. Price is an important function of choice. But we should not discard the fashion trends. Rich people might have good sense. Or they may have a sense for fashion. But they are still just people like the rest of us. So the "unless someone tells you" really rings true to me. Rather than equating rich with good and hence equating good sense with common sense - I think it is a really interesting question. What opportunities and choices are not obvious to us have-nots? I never believed that that getting rich would make me happy and solve all my problems. But I am quite sure that I would get a nicer set of worries and problems than I have now. Would I like to experience that for just a day? No, thank you. Ignorance can be a bliss. It is one of those Schroedingers cat like questions.
