Do you believe that there is no value in inferior products and that they should never be developed?

I certainly don't, and it's clear to me that the Carrez does not, either.

If I have the option, and can afford to do so, I will select the superior product. But if there is no option, or I cannot afford the superior product, I will accept the inferior one and be better off than if I had no product at all.
