Mao II: (1) "caveat emptor" is from the classics, not from marketing and retailing (2) What is an "ultimate chestnut"? Is that the last one to fall from the tree, or the most chestnutty chestnut in the world (3) how is it a "chestnut shines forth"? Is this after it has been baked or after it has been polished, or can you hollow out chestnuts and put candles in them? Enquiring minds want to know. "victor: "caveat emptor" After many hundreds of words in your post, the ultimate chestnut -- drawn, interestingly, from the world of marketing and retailing -- finally shines forth".
