Getting caught spinning discs

Noticed this quote:
"Just one week ago the North American HD DVD Promotional Group issued a media release broadcasting that HD DVD "HD DVD is significantly ahead in the dedicated consumer electronics player market with 60% of all high definition set-top players sold." However, the announcement that the Blockbuster video store chain will stock only Blu-ray titles in its remaining 1200 stores after an initial 500-store trial exposes HD DVD spin for what it is."


Why lie? Consumers are much smarter than those in these marketing/PR professions give them credit for. When do we cross the line from being a savvy consumer to snobby marketers?

Your critique would be more well placed if you addressed the one-sidedness of the article.
