I am so gullible

I do not know if you have heard of a company called Apple. They make computers, music players and stunning keynote presentations. I was just watching a keynote presentation, where their director, a mr. Jobs, presented new music players. The audience was enthusiastic and shouted and applauded all the time.

My own thought was that the products were probably ok, as the audience liked them, even though I was a little surprised at the exaggerated ovations.

Then it struck me that I had seen another presentation with mr. Jobs some months ago, and the audience had been equally enthusiastic. Note the word "equally". The audience was identically enthusiastic. The products were different, but they applauded in the same rhythms. Their wows were shouted with the same voices.

Only then it struck me that the room must have had loads of Apple employees commandeered in to support their director. I do not mind them being there. It would be silly of Apple not to send people in to support their products.

I only mind myself being so gullible not to have realised it straight away.
