Yup. You need ONE paragraph of this article to address the title, and it's like 7 paragraphs in.

    too many people thinking “I’ll buy just a bit earlier so I don’t miss out” seems to me equally possible.

I would argue that's the "logic" of idiots, hence idiocy.

But it turns out their actions were at least somewhat justifiable, it's just that no one has explained to me why until today.
