It's a "psycho-logical" thing. People want "The Best" and are willing to
pay for it (-if it's at all affordable) just to be smug in the knowledge
that they have "The Best" and everybody else's thingy is inferior to
their own. A good entrepreneur can interpret his market and advantage
himself of its opportunities intuitively.
