>Everything you said is true but it is also true for every other industry. Do you not think companies selling computer RAM for example not have the same motivations? How is that industry much less frustration to deal with than what we are discussing here?
The main difference between RAM sticks and the travel industry is that I don't get to travel around with the electrons in a RAM stick and experience the differences in signal quality and speed, but when traveling, we spend time inhabiting the products we are paying for, and we can feel the differences in quality and speed of our travel experiences.
The subtle differences between RAM sticks have real effects on the performance and longevity of a computer system, but are much harder for a human to perceive, so we don't typically don't focus on them.
>If we can solve the issue with lack of clarity of what is being offered then we can build a mapping of competitor A offering to competitor B offering but this is why I say its easier to send people to Mars.
The bigger idea I was trying to get across is that a competitive market system is not going going to be conducive to solving the problems that arise inside a competitive market system. You already intuitively know this, as you elaborate on, but since this system is as ubiquitous as the very air that we are breathing, it is not so obvious that it could be the root cause of the dysfunction we are talking about.
