Why do so many people take illustrative examples literally? I'm sure you can use your imagination to substitute "lunch" and "car" with other examples where the absolute change makes a difference despite the percent change being the same. Even taking it literally... The 5% might not tip the scale of whether or not I can purchase the car, but I'll spend a few hours of my time comparing prices at different dealers to save $2500. Most people would consider it dumb if you didn't shop around when making a large purchase. On the other hand, I'm not going to spend a few hours of my time at lunch so that I can save an extra $1 on a meal. |
