The question is why. Because we can answer the question so many ways: taxonomically, mathematically, philosophically, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you look closer, the answer isn't what you expect. Even if you expect the \"no\" because you know Betteridge's law. This is a far more complicated question than it seems at first blush, perhaps even unanswerable by the time we get to the end of this journey, which I argue is absolutely worth taking because of every issue and idea it touches. If we were comparing American car sales to subscription French equestrian lessons, we could probably make a pretty quick dollar-to-dollar comparison. But the moment you start saying something like \"sales of fast cars,\" well I have to ask, does this include Geo Metros? Not at first blush, until you look under the hood and see the Geo Metro Turbo out classing a souped up Honda Civic on the racetrack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo it gets messy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lancelot Schaubert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949547213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949547214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lance Schaubert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.25w x 0.19d","brand":"Lancelot Schaubert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520062271743,"sku":"9781949547214","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c463961-4c9a-4269-a9d8-c61a2a721785.jpg?v=1778740510","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/do-literary-books-sell-fewer-lancelot-schaubert-9781949547214","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
