In the end the blue lures out sell the red ones.
wait, wait, wait. Your boss comes up to you and says trout lures will only be painted red from now on because "the red ones sell better" most likely because he actually has data and sales records to back this up. but because you say blues ones work better basing it purely off the anecdotal evidence of you own fishing trips, your boss will for some asinine reason ignore sales records and trending data, change company policy, and some how the buying habits of consumers will change? That makes literally no sense what so ever.

you really don't think your analogies through at all. Your "experiance" as a fisher in that analogy is of little to no use to your boss. Regardless of the success you have had with blue ones, if the public at large is of the opinion that red ones are better (hence the reason your boss wants to make only red ones) then it is in your boss's and your own best interest to make red ones.
