I agree completely with the sentiment, but I have to disagree with one part: “Any reasonable person should be able to surmise…”
If we take “reasonable” to mean “average” then you are dead wrong. It’s been my experience that most people have no clue at all about supply chains or how products make it to them. If they buy a thing at a store for $50, they believe that the store has made $50. Retail is a terrible place to be.

I’m sorry for your retail experience.
I’ve been there, I know what you mean.
But in this context, I really don’t mean average. The average person is hardly reasonable.
