First off a slower yet more stable rate of growth is a good thing, as opposed of the boom bust cycles that we artificially make with market manipulation. Because the huge rapid increases always results in sudden periods of contractions, like we are in today, where everyone loses their job and is making a lot less. And everyone losing their house and becoming poor isn't good for the economy. Secondly, all products are never going to be equal. And if they are there are other things to separate companies besides them lying. There is the costs of products, customer service and how much support the give, warranties and stuff like that.

I don't believe at all, that lying to people is needed. That is just an excuse and a lazy approach to sales.
