information too. High "production values" affect value-determining centers of the brain, bypassing the linguistic and logical centers. They make you understand that the thing you're being presented is "worth something". Most of the time, it's only worth a fat cash profit to the person doing the presenting, who is giving you a piece of junk at an inflated price. But your brain doesn't care. It's got a shortcut to your wallet, and the information on the screen is accessing that. --Blair """" This was the most useful comment for me.
