-
If there are a million A's and a million B's,
-
you're dealing with one of the B's, maybe the other B will give
-
you a better deal.
-
So you have to think about what the other people are doing
-
before you can decide what to do yourself.
-
All that is captured by the idea of the prices.
-
Somehow people get into their minds what the best deal they can get is.
