    No. 8 is closer to 10 then it is to 5

    no, completely valid, but pricing is a psychological question rather than a math question for some.

    reason for example products are priced with X.99

    some people se it as cost X amount, others (like youself) see it as X+1 amount. the 0.99 is the extreme end of the psychology and choosing 8 in the case of peak increases number of people who dont see it at the higher price
