When better, is well, better
Have you ever noticed that some things are really only worth it if you get the very best? As in, if you can't have the highest quality stuff you'd rather just skip it? Opera, oysters, lobster, bourbon, and sushi would all be in this category. However, there are many other things (many, many other things, in fact) where average is perfectly acceptable. Things like hamburgers, beer, pizza, sex, and candy would fit in this category. I mean, yeah, sure it would be nice to have a medium-well, perfectly grilled, black Angus burger on a focaccia bun and a box of Godiva truffles, but I'm not going to turn down Wendy's and perfectly good Snickers bar.
