I understand the concept.

I guess what I was getting at is that I'm not sure I would make that
claim. I can think of examples where the emotional solution is the
better one over the logical one. The iPod is one example. It was
priced too high and the technology had been around in other devices,
but the object is an emotional one. Yes, it works well, but the
emotional response it engenders is frankly not rational.

Thus, I'm not convinced that thought is always more important than
emotion.
