Battery choice (Uh, choice is good right??) should be a cogent determination best made by ‘thinking individuals’ rather than non-sentient zombies (e.g. your referenced Moo-cows...)...Admittedly, this culls the herd considerably - and those remaining are often a minority of individuals who choose to plan ahead and possess the ability to see beyond the trendy slogans of bumper stickers...

*(e.g. discounting the vagaries of non-user ‘opinion polls’...)
