Watching  a movie. You decompose this element by element:

  • If I go the the cinema, I see a movie in a dark setting. If I stay at home, I see a movie in a dark setting.
  • I can have popcorn and soda either at the cinema or at home.
  • I can be with someone at the cinema or at home.
  • The sound system at home and at the cinema is similar.
  • The screen at the cinema is larger, and they may have 3D glasses, but this isn’t that important to me.
  • At home, I can play/pause/forward.
  • At the cinema, I pay a premium.

All-in-all, after the decomposition, it appears that the home wins. You get pretty much the same experience, element-by-element, and you don’t have to pay the premium (you do pay something, but it’s less than at the cinema).

My gorgeous article about the best attributes to successfully use

You see things like these all the time:

  • Best price.
  • Probably the best beer in the world.
  • Good, better, Gösser. (beer)
  • The best or nothing.
  • Life tastes good.
  • The most [freely insert attribute here] on the market.

In the above text, some of the words are adjectives, some are adverbs. I’ll call them all attributes and I’ll write this blog post only about them.
