I can guarantee the answer, and the answer for every other doc has nothing to do with double-blind studies, drug company advertising, free pens or meals or any of the things you mentioned.

seems like you know something i don't know. does it make you feel special?

I think psisci is trying to get you to consider how he and other professionals might make decisions in this context.

Why don't you give it a go and see what you come up with? At least you will demonstrate how your decision process would work ... and you can then compare it to his. Might make for some interesting learnings / discussion ...

Btw the reason I mentioned supermarket shopping is that sure placement is important but so are packaging incl colour, size, logo, imagery, font ... need I go on? There are many factors that interplay (albeit more subconsciously) when you're making decisions in the supermarket. I don't know if I think the analogy is that great really.
