Um, you mean like yours above? Marketeers use non sequiturs because gullibility apparently improved reproductive fitness for the ancestors of the vast majority of human beings.

They are more likely to make money from me than from the plumbing-supply owner. If the plumbing-supply owner buys Oracle, it's more likely because it is an available option in some vertical market application I worked on than because some Oracle hack convinced the owner it was a good idea.
It's amusing to watch the marketeers circle the wagons against anyone who takes away their ability to baffle with bullshit--even when they have the raw materials available to dazzle with brilliance. Marketeers and salesmen are addicted to bullshit. When one takes bullshit away from a marketeer or salesman, he will react pretty much like a crack ho' losing her pipe.
