I'm not saying there aren't stupid people out there, but one would have to be pretty thick to not consider a host of other factors when buying, most importantly your items #1-4.On these forums the analysis emphasis is often slanted towards the numbers, perhaps because the numbers are the only part of the deal that can really be parsed on paper (or virtual paper!).
