“The example Dr. Davis provides is that a precise number like $325,425 is seen as lower that $325,000 even though obviously the former number is a higher amount.”
“I think an initial demand of $485,000 is higher than an initial demand of $500,000″
I was going to ask to whom does 325,425 seem lower than 325,000, but the author provides an answer.
Sure seems like a load foamy, brainsoap to me.
