Raises an interesting point. Wonder how many people could tell the

who drives a BMW as being "autophools"?

That is indeed an interesting point.
However pretty much the whole point of owning, driving and being seen
in a prestige brand car is to display one's wealth and superior
genetic stock, peacock-style.
Which is not the same as convincing oneself that an expensive piece of
audio equipment *sounds better* than a cheaper piece of equipment
because it looks and costs more...
