And there lies the fallacy of asking for objective product recommendations on
T&T. Prior to making a choice we entertain all arguments, pro and con, for
all competing products. But once having bought a specific product, we become
emotionally involved in our choice. All arguments for competing products tend to
be downplayed, even ridiculed. It is rare to find a person who says "I bought
product A but it was a mistake. I should have bought product B." We do not
want to be considered stupid for making the choice we did so we staunchly defend
our actions.
Psychologists call this irrational tendency to disparage information which
fails to justify our decisions "cognitive dissonance."
