*shrug* This discussion has gone on for awhile and neither side is going to be able to sway the other. I see no need to drag it out and keep it going when we're just going to disagree. I've stated my position, I've tried various examples to explain why I think it's a bad idea, and vice versa, but neither side has budged their position. Why drag it out and risk getting hateful over it?
You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine. We're both entitled to try and convince the other that they are wrong, but in the end, if we can't convince each other, the best thing to do is agree to disagree.

As long as Walmart doesn't say that the CPU is Quad-Core, but neglect to tell you that you have to pay extra. If Walmart says that the CPU is dual core, 2GHz and supports VT, and it costs $x, then why should anyone care that the CPU can do extra for additional payment.
