What I see in my (absurdly competitive) market is that the 
people that truly do no-marketing tend to close shop, sometimes 
despite very competitive offerings.

It colors my perception of course, since it can be very 
tempting to appeal to a limited pool of discerning customers; 
but that would mean death.

What is the ratio of expenditure of your best customer to an 
average customer?   Not much.  That's one main reason why your 
intuition developed by organising your emotions according to your 
business domain fits this domain less.

What is the ratio of expenditure of the biggest 'customer' of 
Python to the average 'customer'?  Measured by resources lent to 
the community directly or indirectly, or by the wage bill of 
programmers at that firm working in Python this ratio is enormous.
