Your point #2 reminds me of a Steve Jobs quote: "It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them." -- BusinessWeek, May 25 1998 Interesting story. Your point #2 reminds me of a Steve Jobs quote:

It turned out that more people liked the taste of Pepsi over coke in the Pepsi challenge. However in real life, more people preferred the taste of coke. Why ? Pepsi was sweeter, and apparently people like the inital burst of sweetness. But, with more consumed, the sweetness got sickening. People do not drink sips, but this was what the Pepsi Challenge selected for - the inital preference after one sip. How many other "taste test" or models are only designed to test initial impressions and not actual real world "use" or preferance ? Malcom Gladwell commented on the Pepsi challenge in his book Blink.
