At the risk of over-explaining my gag, my point was that the majority of
people tend to attempt to assess the relative merits of competing products
and services by reducing them to one single numeric metric and ignoring
other aspects (e.g. access time and reliability for storage, lens quality
and sensor sensitivity for cameras, power bands, gearing, fuel efficiency,
insurance and handling for cars, distortion and frequency response for
stereos, and nutrition for food).

Unsurprisingly, that usually isn't an effective way of getting what they
need.

Best Regards,
Alex
