Once again some very informative and entertaining musings. Thank you Archimago!
As I read the piece I found myself musing about how much of advertising, and a closely related way high end audio, is based on many of these known cognitive biases. There is a good reason why a new car salesperson always seems to have a child in college/sick parent/health problem/insurance issue/etc. closely resembling the exact situation the buyer is experiencing. Remember that it can rather easy to con someone if you know the right buttons push and audiophiles seem to have lots and lots of very big buttons.
