True.
I believe part of the problem is the OLD mentality of "if it is not expensive, it is not quality". That may have been true before WWII. However with modern manufacturing techniques, that changed. Truth be known, many different brads are made in the same factory all sourcing parts form the same suppliers. No one builds anything form all in-house made parts any more.
I also had an interesting conversation with a physiologist once in talking about a nursing home resident. In my conversation I asked why the extreme
personality traits as people get OLDER.
He said it was his observation that however a person acted at a young age, they would revert back to that trait at an intensified level, when they are older. Even if they were different in middle age.
The examples he gave were a real friendly, loving child would be a friendly, easy going person as a senior citizen. If the child was possessive, assertive then he would be a crumudgeon old person.
So we have the old mentality that was thought that quality has be costly and the mental capacity reverting back to childhood.
I think that we can add in a perceived insult, because without spending a lot the cheaper units are indistinguishable form the high priced one, in many cases.
It is like back in the day, a '56 T-bird being beaten by a Hot Rod!
