It works because people want to buy things, as I said at the beginning of this exchange. Advertising works with them, not against them.

This is not what my links say. Do you have your own references?

I have a bit of knowledge about human nature and some applied logic. I do not need others to tell me how to think and I find Wikipedia a heavily biased and ideologized source.

Wikipedia is not a source. It's a list of sources. You can always add your own (reliable) sources to the list. Basing your decisions on "a bit of knowledge about human nature" is unscientific.

I am not a scientist. And I wouldn't trust scientists using Wikipedia "sources".

Scientific approach is not just for scientists. It's the only approach which works, according to existing (proven) evidence.

[nickpp]

I seriously doubt the scientific approach includes Wikipedia.
