The effect was tested on profit margins as low as 17% and as high as 55%. Outside those ranges it's unclear if it will still work.


I understand, so maybe my critique was a bit of my personal views.

Rather I meant that it’s a bit odd that costs are clearly specified, but the consumer has to calculate the profit themselves. In my mind, that actually makes it less transparent as high profit margins are what drive the crazy capitalist market we have today, and associating small values to material and labor doesn’t make me feel better when the profit is the “artificial” portion of my purchase price.
