Enthusiasts are also terrible for advice.

For 95% of people a high end soundbar is going to tick all their boxes and then some. 95% of enthusiasts asked for advice will tell you they suck and you're wasting your money.

I dont want every thing in my life to be a minor hobby. Good Enough is just that.

    Its true. A great other example is asking any of us nerds what best computer is out there for a family member. I know I personally would rattle off all of the specs and tell them exactly what to get, when all they needed is a browser.

    Now I tell them just get something that isn't on the discount rack and they'll be fine
