Ummm, yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. Sorry if it
offends you. But, like most other people (ooops, more
shocking stereotyping) I take a different approach to
buying say:

* A loaf of bread
* A new roof
* A used automobile
* A laptop computer
* A mortgage
* An attorney to defend me against frivolous charges of
industrial stereotyping.

Exactly! In other words you _learn_! You don't base your behavior on
some preconceived notion. You tailor your behavior to fit the
situation. If the OP could only take your cue. Instead of spewing
about what the other people do wrong, and maybe focusing a bit on what
_they're_ doing wrong, I bet you that they'd learn too! Wouldn't that
be great?

I have preconceived notions too. They're largely based on
accumulated experience -- my own plus that derived from
other trusted sources (individual and institutional).

I hope that they evolve from time to time as new data
surface.
