Excuse you, I didn't quote you. I used a pejorative in single quotes (since I was paraphrasing) that you obviously take offense to, but I thought we were talking about ignorant American consumers. Considering I was commenting on your lowly view of the intelligence of these people I feel the pejorative is apt. Don't use my choice of words to twist the argument.
Yes they (uninformed consumers of anything) do exist as you point out. Ok so grandmas are confused by Blu-ray. 5 years ago, my mother was confused by the internet, now she is featured on deviantart.com and uses photoshop nearly as well as I do. Your correlation that most people fit into the category of the uninformed and unwilling to do proper research is the only thing propping up your conclusion.
@sagexsdx, 14% and rising every day. I guess that means currently available statistics being used in this argument couldn't possibly predict the amount of growth this industry will see, I mean other than the fact that it is nearly impossible to get a TV that isn't HD compatible these days. That number will very quickly climb to near 100%.
