Right. No one expects prices to be equal across the globe. But one can expect people to realize that the high prices that they pay in their own, mostly Western localities, are not primarily due to higher quality products but rather due to punitive transportation costs, import tariffs and duties, national taxes, dealer markups and|or much higher price of local labor. In other words one expects people to refrain equating higher price with higher quality, and to elevate their own often wildly overpriced products as some sort of paragon. 😉
