Doesn't this depend on who and where you ask? Do you think the market has actually spoken in favour of high-end snakeoil? Like Arny says, the actual penetration of the high end brands of cables and whatnot isn't all that significant. More pedestrian, moderately expensive though well advertised items like Monster Cables and Beats is where the financial sweet spot likely lies. JPlay/JCat, Uptone Regen, "high end" cable companies gets their portion though I'm not sure what "spoils" implies in terms of actual monetary reward. No, I don't think objectivists are the loons shouting about the end of the world (remember, "end of the world" isn't generally part of the scientific world view unless we're talking death of the sun, serendipitous asteroid/comet collisions, environmental catastrophes, or nuclear armageddon). We're the guys passing the psychic store selling mystical amulets on the way to work and on occasion, the bravest of us would get into an argument but ultimately carrying on with our lives. The psychic store continues to sell their wares and more outspoken faithful believers will patronize.
