I get wheere OP is coming from - that there are obviously so many oddball reasons people must have had to have picked those choices. I get a similar effect when I hear people talk about their car purchases - brand loyalty, some oddball single piece of advice, that the color would match house, etc. Worst is when I know them long enough to know that after 3 years of having their car in the shop for warranty fixes that would have lemon-law'd it 5 times over, they are about to trade it in on a newer version of the same thing 'because they are giving me a great deal on the trade in'. I'm also reminded of stories from a car-salesman acquantance about how they would sometimes just take a dare and try to sell some POS to the next guy who walked on the lot (and how often they were able to do so).
