Not to mention all the tacit thoughts and emotions that, ideally, precede behavior-as-medium (and arguably the differentiator between a good and a great product or service).

Otherwise, we humans would be a pretty impulsive bunch (oh-oh, hmm, LOL). Then there's the issue of emotion trumping intellect or intellect trumping emotion, rather than being equal partners guiding the decision.
