I've said the same for ages, based on a simple algebra: given a budget B producing product P, B can be composed of many things. The most important subset of B is the funds used to improve the product (I), and advertisement does not materially affect the product. Therefore a good heuristic of max(I) from many similar-looking Ps, minimize the advertising spend in Ps B.
