I think that you sort of missed the point of this exercise...

Actually, Neal Boortz talked about this sort of study (it may have been the same one, for all I know) some weeks ago.

This whole thing is more about class warfare and envy than anything else. And that many people would rather see others fail, even if it winds up costing them in both the sort and long term!

Ugh, this is one of those times I am proud to have missed the point, then..that did not get through to me.

But I have a neighbor who is a jeweller, and he told me of a revolting side of human nature. People gladly pay a premium for a one-of-a-kind piece if they are sure their neighbor can NEVER have one like it, and KNOWS they cannot, at any price.

I am grateful not to know these people.
