If the positive word-of-mouth chain ("binary tree") is the same size as the negative w-o-m chain, what's the balance? Does good news travel farther than bad news? From my experience, word of bugs and deficiencies does *NOT* carry as far as the news of new, hip features; this leads to situations where inferior products are promoted *forever* because they have one snappy feature.
