No, they of all people seem to look only at cost, ignoring benefits.

Maybe. All I know is that these days people put words like "value" and 
"economy" on products, suggesting that these things are "good value".

Value is the *ratio* of cost to benefit. Simply reducing the price does 
*not* increase the value unless the quality remains the same. But your 
typical "value" item, while very much *cheaper*, is also very much 
*lower quality*. If you compute the cost/benefit, it's probably far 
*worse* value.

Sorry, that just annoys me... As you were, men.
