merlin:

So. If Home Depot sold two identical hammers that represented the best and most useful hammer in the entire universe—only one was marketed as “a really nice hammer,” while the other was marketed as “a distraction-free hammering environment”—I’m fairly certain that any adult who uses a hammer every day for a living would instantly know that the second one represented potentially harmful bullshit. And, they’d say so without fear of hurting anyone’s feelings.
