Meaning
This points to sales as persuasion rather than pure logic. It can be read as a blunt comment on how desire is shaped, the effective message is the one that makes people want something, even when the case for it is not strictly rational. It lands in advertising, pitch meetings, or any moment when a good story matters more than a clean argument.
