You'll note that I'm not asking you to believe me, or anyone else --
I rarely, if ever, argue by "appealing to authority". I ask you to think
about these things, and make up your own mind.

I have, and I have, but because I arrive at an opinion that is contrary
to yours, you cannot accept that it has any validity.

What I'm saying is not an opinion. It's fact. The Bose Wave radio is
mediocre, especially when held up against the standard of Bose's claims for
it. It's overpriced, because there are cheaper products that perform as well
or better. And Bose does not speak the truth about its products. (I consider
that lying, given Bose's stated claims of engineering expertise.) That's it.
These are all objective, factual, provable statements.

As friendly professor Peter Schickele so famously said, "Truth is truth. You
can't have opinions about truth."

Businesses rarely sue each other over product claims, probably because they
think it isn't worth the trouble, and the money would be better spent
misrepresenting their own products.

Rather than take Bose to court, I would prefer to find some magazine to
purchase all of Bose's products -- plus competitive products from other
companies -- so I could thoroughly test them for a printed review. This
would be much more effective than suing them.

Mr. Daily, you need to look to your own thinking. You think that one opinion
is as good as any other. It isn't. And you think that because you believe
something, it is necessarily true. (It took me a long, long time to grow out
of that. In fact, it took a long time for me to recognize that I -- and most
people -- actually thought that way.)
