I'm sorry to have to say this but... they are. Maybe ignorant isn't really the correct word.

Anyway I used to work in Dixons all those years back and DVD was just hitting the shops... . We had a few instore displays showing the pure quality of DVD over VHS and you'd have so, so many people watching the clips saying, 'ohhh isn't is so clear' and all the usual stuff.

The DVD show reel was playing... from a VHS cassette.

It's pretty much all marketing buttox.

It isn't all marketing, DVD is still objectively better than VHS in every way. Just because people are taken in by marketing or false demos like your DVD demo running off of a VHS player, it doesn't mean that it still isn't better.

Same logic applies here, some people may blindly buy an iPhone because of hype and marketing, but it doesn't change the fact that it is still a leading product in specific categories (fastest hardware with best apps and support).

The problem is when you run into marketing hype that isn't backed up by a good product (Sony, Bose, Dell/HP consumer line, Beats Audio, etc), that sucks.
