The Mike Berger entity posted thusly:

You do indeed have it wrong. Capitalism is about making money.
It has nothing to do with the superiority of the product.

VHS beat out Beta.

Because Sony did not pay attention to what the public wanted the
most... length of recording on one tape.

PC's outsell Macintosh.

Because few people wanted to access the computer through a single
button. How would you like to build a hutch and sideboard using only
one finger?

Marketing trumps technology.

And misreading the public's wants is a sure road to failure.
