This means nothing, it is self-referential. As a result the rest of the
points you make suffer.
One can define the 'price' and how it gets there from two perspectives.
The first is the seller, the second in the buyer. The sellers position as
to why they accepted a particular prices is actually much easier to
analyze then the purchasers rationale (the reason is there are
non-economic issues involved).
