[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 4462740, member: 18280"] Are you suggesting that no one plays basketball without a shot clock? If there is a paradigm shift, where one can easily find New Basketball to watch, but where one has difficulty finding Old Basketball to watch, it becomes very difficult to claim (with a straight face) that there is not a higher cost associated with seeking out Old Basketball. Or, to put it this way, VHS wasn't necessarily the best format for viewing films on tape, but it was the most widely adopted. Hence, if you want to watch a film on tape, your best bet to find it is on VHS, even if VHS is an objectively worse format than its competitor in terms of picture and price. No, but attempting to answer that often leads to fallicious thinking. As I pointed out is true in the particular case of claiming that "more people play = objectively better" (which is, in a strange quirk of fate, objectively fallacious). RC [/QUOTE]
