Agree with wasbit that the classic goal of marketing is to make people jump
to completely unwarranted (but favorable to their product) assumptions.

It's how premium fuel is sold, for example, where people jump to a
completely unwarranted assumption that Chevron gas is better simply because
it's advertised to have Techron (which is mostly plain old polyetheramines,
which all USA top tier fuels have plenty of).

For decades I (seemingly innocently) nonchalantly ask people and attendants
at the gas pump what's the difference between premium & regular, and I
almost always get the unwarranted assumptions that marketing wants you to
think simply because it costs 50 cents more per gallon out here in
California land.

For most cars, it's actually worse gas (although not meaningfully so), and
yet people pay half a buck more per gallon based on unwarranted assumptions
(don't even get me started on similar marketing hype of the iPhone please).

The absurd "you get what you pay for" mantra is pure bullshit IMHO,
designed for low-IQ people, since it's always said by people with
absolutely zero education on the product itself, and therefore who have no
clue about the product as all they know is the price.

The dumber a person is, i.e., the less they know about the product, the
more desperate they seem to be to gauge the product based on a number line.

That number line is often price, but it could be grades such as 'L/XL/GXL'
or 'bronze/silver/gold' or worse, warranty number lines (1yr/2yr/3yr), etc.

The truth is you never get what you pay for. 
 a. You get what you get (which you need to understand what it is).
 b. And the dumber you are, the more you will pay for it.
