If they aren't better off, why wouldn't they just say no?

So long as he doesn't try to use them!

There have been so many studies showing that everyone from average joes to top-tier judges can't tell the difference between cheap and expensive wines.

Lol, I've said for years that you should always buy second cheapest booze (unless it's a variety you're passionate about). Never go cheapest because... Shudder... But usually second cheapest is good enough.

Okay... But... Outside of conflicts of interest, wouldn't those families be worse off without this unconventional life insurance policy?

90% of problems on modern cars are computers miscommunicating with other computers, out just deciding that some sensor isn't behaving well enough, so you have to throw the baby out with the bath water. All this in proprietary formats in proprietary subsystems a filthy mortal like you can't afford the tools to even know what's wrong.

I'll counter with the following: if you aren't sure whether your kid will like it, it's probably a better idea to start with renting. You'll typically get a fully-serviced instrument with coverage for accidental damage.

Yes, it's a fully sunk cost, but it's predictable and you don't have to deal with the hassle of selling off an instrument if they don't get really into it. Once you're confident that they're going to stick with it and know they can handle and maintain it carefully, then you should look into buying.

All ice cream (and related desserts) will get harder as they get colder. This is because more water freezes and the fat viscosity increases. If your ice cream isn't hard enough, your freezer isn't cold enough.

Take a reliable thermometer and check the temp of your ice cream tub. Is be willing to bet it's a lot warmer than the USDA recommended 0°F (253 K).
