True, but if Walmart can convince consumers that blue jeans are blue jeans and this pair of Levi's is exactly the same as that pair of Jordache (to use an example from earlier years because these days, I have no clue what the big fashion jeans are) then they have marked a specific price point in the consumer's mind.
This is what the argument about ebooks and price point is all about. Is a J.A. Sutherland price point the same as a David Weber price point? Amazon would argue books is books. The publishers would argue that consumers buy based on the author and some books are worth more than other books. That matches their experience with the big selling authors carrying the book market.
