I don't really see that as shit science DyingStrong, it's an example of confirmation bias. There are tons of studies shown that when people are told that something is expensive or an example of something considered high quality, they will show a bias towards it.

Wait just a minute-You expect me to believe-That all this misbehaving-Grew from one enchanted tree? And helpless to fight it-We should all be satisfied-With this magical explanation-For why the living die-And why it's hard to be a decent human being - David Bazan
