There is a bug in the foundations of sociology that makes it sometimes intellectually permissible to characterize historical facts by their distance to a single unreflected moral matrix (usually today's prototype of the shared ideology of the observers). I blame Weber and Marx.

Brands get old or stale or both. His familiarity, comfort, and mimesis which keep them going. My guess and hope is that you are interested in none of these.
