As for the economics involved it is clear you have more of a clue than Eric the Obtuse or Odin will ever have.

As for understanding the economic implications in deciding where to eat I don't know if I should feel complemnted or insulted at the comparison to Eric or Odin.  I mean it isn't that hard to be intellectually superior to Eric (my 5 year old nephew is and he struggles with Dr. Seuss--which is hardly high literature).  As for Odin, I think his problem is he's incredibly naive.  Somehow he's managed to avoid life kicking the shit out of him--but he can't avoid it forever and he'll ether wise up or flounder.
