I agree with you 100%. It is foolish to try and understand how and why a product came about. It is best to just trust marketers to lead you around by the nose and for customers to buy whatever is in front of them without question.
I can say that my solution to a flat tire is to buy a new tire. But that's just me.
So please try to forgive me for wanting to bring some clarity to the subject. I will not make this mistake again.
