I took a local gun dealer a printed copy of The Chart after a long conversation with him about the differences between different AR-15 manufacturers. It's not that he didn't believe me or whatever, he was just of the opinion that Stags and Bushmasters were excellent AR-15's and with the more expensive ones you are just buying the name. He has since started trying to convince people of the superiority of S&W and DD AR-15's.
It takes a special kind of bullheadedness to stare empirical evidence in the face and call it BS. It's one of the reasons I like buying stuff from him--he knows a lot, but still realizes there are things he doesn't know and is willing to change his worldview given appropriate evidence.
