If I don't hear or see them, how do they affect me, precisely?

So you don't believe in subtlety or that you might ever miss something. Yikes.

EVERY SINGLE HUMAN ALIVE reacts the same to advertising.

That's pretty insane and obviously no one is even remotely claiming that. If that were true then every ad campaign would have either a 100% success or failure rate. Given that you could just use a focus single person to try things out on, then every single ad campaign would work on every human. Tell me who is claiming this?

Yes I'm extremely "overconfident" because I claim that both you and I can be manipulated. Something so obviously true it's silly id ever need to say it.

You are claiming that humans are all susceptible to advertising. If that is not the case then there are those that are not affected, and those that are. I am claiming that the majority may be susceptible to it, but not everyone. You are adamant that I am wrong.

You can pretend to not understand what I'm saying, fine.
