Canvasback,

Your comment about lipstick makes me think of nature vs nurture. Society trains us to believe in its values and norms. Andy Warhol's photo of a Campbell tomato soup can was considered one off the simplest yet strongest statements of its time. Says who? The New York jet set at the time. And society though its commercialism, marketing and media coverage told us it was true. And we believed it. The original photograph is sold in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It is not any different that we are nurtured into believing what a Best gun should be. And this forum, rightly or wrongly, plays a large part in creating and establishing our beliefs.
