You go to the most popular restaurant in town for the first time.
Everybody you know loves this place.
After waiting weeks to get a reservation, you finally get a table.
When you look at the menu, there are only two entree choices.
You do not like either choice. You don't think you could possibly even choke either of them down. Maybe you can swallow one without puking, but certainly not the other.
What do you do? Everyone you know picks one of these entrees, and they all say they love the place.
People are going to ask what you ordered. What are you going to tell them?
You tell them the choices suck and you refused to choose one. You left, went down to a small, obscure diner, and had a tasty meal.
After you tell a few people, some secretly tell you that they don't really like that big famous restaurant either. They follow your example and try out some smaller eateries that they really like.
Before you know it, that big popular restaurant with only two choices isn't so popular anymore. Lots of smaller places start getting business, and a few really start to grow.
The big established restaurant eventually has to change so it can compete with the smaller places.
You should never choke down something you can't stand, just because everyone else you know can do it.
Follow your stomach.
