I'm not saying anything like remotely like that. That's why analogies should only be used to clarify your own position rather than to interpret/twist what someone else is saying. My position doesn't require interpretation. It can't be made more clear with an unrelated analogy. Please don't try to re-word something that doesn't need re-wording simply because you don't agree with what was said, and wish for it to sound more silly.

A) Not everyone think's they're being "sold" anything that's somehow inherently inferior.
B) Not everyone cares that the vendor is "lying" because they know the truth, and the truth doesn't affect the product's value in their eyes one iota.
C) I'm comfortable with the quality of... my perceived ownership of... and the value of what I'm paying for. I, and others like me, are simply not being taken advantage of.
D) Why are others allowing themselves to be taken advantage of, and in need of some legislative magic bullet that can miraculously end every last vestige of deception in sales/advertising and save them from their own dumb?
