I couldn't disagree with you more. People solving the problems have a choice. If they don't want to look it up, more power to them. Otherwise, leave the decision to the learner. I always hated it when teachers would hold on to the solutions

I agree with you although I wonder what happens in the case of repeated purchases. Wouldn't the store with lower prices and lower profits on these warranties attract more buyers? Or what if it's Christmas time and I'm buying a gift, I would

I would expect the market for extended warranties to be competitive. At least as competitive as the market for the product the warranty is slapped on. How can stores make so much profits on warranties but so little on the associated product

Sorry if this is misleading. I read the article on paper and that was the pull-quote. I decided to use it because the real title 'The upside of a downturn' was not descriptive enough to me.

I strongly disagree with your point #1. I understand you want to emphasize business value and short-term returns but barring refactoring is taking it too far. Smart refactoring will pay off immediately by giving you faster turnaround for ne
