Which again is horrible marketing, and I don't think that analogy fits your point.
I'm not seeing a single perspective change due to this discussion, because underneath the surface is the whole "guru" debate that's been going on for years.
Those who don't like the guru pedestal are criticizing the pricing/presentation of this new product.
Those who defend the guru pedestal think the pricing/presenation are justified and smart business.
From what I can tell the minds were already made up before any of us actually read the material. Is that accurate?
