I understand that Larry. That's precisely why when someone comes
around saying/implying that if one changes from brand A to brand B,
that one was a non-thinker and therefore one must rationalize their
choice after the fact, pisses me off.

It not only assumes brand A is better than B, it assumes Brand A is
better than Brand B for me, and it assumes the person knows what's in
MY head. It's arrogant and condescending and the unwritten subtext is
'I'm more intelligent because of my choice and your less intelligent
because of yours'.

I find that offensive. Especially so because I know what's in my head
and it's a lot of snot!
