Its a world wide philisophy which says buy the one which has been 
around the longest, largest, brand name recognition etc in the belief that 
it MUST be better.
This is a killer of new ideas, the smaller business man, capitalism etc.
(plus it might be that by the time they have paid for the trip that there isn't 
much left over or the way you became rich wasn't by paying too much or 
maybe just plain ignorance).
I have picked up some bad habits (and I confess still have some) by 
having no peers that I could consult in my area. I now know where to find 
the information I need fortunately not too late but I feel sorry for those 
who don't quite have sufficient drive to search further.
