Reply #54: I imagine most people think that very same thing

"I must have some super-duper immunity to advertising."

I imagine most people think that very same thing about themselves-- I suppose it's human nature to believe that we ourselves are immune to the popularity contests of the market, and tell ourselves we've purchased only those big-ticket items that we've given full and conscious examination to.

Maybe saying it helps us feel more validated about our decisions...
