I wondered that too. If you want something you pay for it. If you want

best you pay for it.

In this case you don't get the best having paid for it.

That's your assertion based on criteria that you deem to be valid for
you. You can't say that something is or isn't the best for other
people, because their criteria are almost certainly different.


If you want
it for "lifestyle" reasons then of course logic and cost is
irrelevant. If you want to buy a cooker then both price and
performance are usually important factors.

Of course. An even more important factor than price is value. If
somebody perceives enough value in something and has the means to pay,
then the price is irrelevant. If they don't perceive value or don't
have the means to pay for it then they don't buy it - simple as that.

Performance is also a very subjective term and completely dependent on
the factors that are important to the buyer/user of a product.

Again, you can't assume that everyone's criteria are the same as
yours.

Well said, Andy, everything.
