Shimano vs. Campy
My TT bike has DuraAce/Ultegra mixed group, and I haven't had anything but great things to say about my Shimano components. Campy is probably better if you're in Europe though. More people know how to work on it.
but this isnt about europe, because in europe most people have like MBBS or something liek that (NOT SURE).
but in the USA, shimano kicks so much ass. i mean....if you have a bike with a shimano, expect it to be sweeeeeeeeeet. i dont roll on Huffys.
Dr vs. Dr ..... seriously.
It isn't worth trying to break down. Whenever I have to explain it to someone, I always say for example: Say two people are applying for a job in a big business, one has a Masters in Economics, one has a Masters in Business (MBA) .... is one going to get the job hands down and be extremely qualified while the other isn't a real businessman?? No. Same thing with DO vs MD. You are both Doctors, both qualified, etc etc.

If they knew the true background of osteopathic medicine emerging in many ways to combat terrible allopathic medicine practices. For example MD's were using calomel (mercury gas) to treat syphillis. Osteopathic medicine use to be strictly OMM, but over the last 150 years allopathic and osteopathic have converging treatments and philosphies to the point that they are many times indistinguishable besides the two letters after their name. That being said the the public is very ignorant about DO's.

While I get what you are saying, just to nitpick, that IMHO really isn't a great comparison for the simple reason that neither of those business credentials is a pre-professional degree, as MD/DO are. Meaning that neither qualifies you for any job. They are "add on" degrees, enhancements -- something you might get AFTER you have already worked and are already qualfied for certain business jobs. Thus neither of those credentials is really meant get you a job. They might get you a promotion in an existing job, which is why most people in MBA programs are sent there by their employers.
By contrast in a profession, the professional degree and training, not your prior work experience is meant to make you qualified for the job.

Aquafina vs Poland Spring
I more use it as a way to explain MD vs DO to people. I understand your point completely, but I'm simply saying: 1. Each make you just as qualified for what you want to do. 2. One is not better than the other (this could be argued in my example like MBA > Masters in Econ or whatever but I'm just making a point) 3. Both will be viewed as expertise in the field you work in. I understand that you could be a CEO for example without having an MBA, but you couldn't be a surgeon without an MD/DO, but it just helps to put the argument into perspective.
My Campy vs. Shimano analogy is the best so far. For those of you who ride bikes, anyway.
It's basically the same thing. There are different levels of components with each brand. Campy is a little more exotic, but in the end, there is not a significant difference.
