Also – supply and demand works in aggregate, across society as a whole. So as price declines, it’s society that demands more. It’s not a surprise for that to break down at an individual level. Some might say that it’s the basis of economics.

Anyway – I just don’t see the point here. Maybe it’s just lost on me. Sorry.
