Of course it's an outlier. That was my point!
I would argue that educating people about the cost differences is likely to have more useful positive effect (and far smaller negative effect) than would legislating to hit the main case. Money talks loudly indeed. Tell people, and they listen.
Speaking of which, all frequently-used bulbs in my house have been fluorescent for a long long time now. But up-front costs still dominate for infrequently used bulbs. And will continue to do so for a fair while.
