Not always the case.
Nothing ever is.
On the opposite side, you'll find hype seekers. People who need to believe there's a whole new level somewhere.
You can say those are deluded audiophiles, but in fact they get what they are looking for. They aren't being cheated to believe things.
They want someone telling them they are about to buy the whole new level of unparalleled performance, they don't want someone telling "you're about to buy something that's 8% better"
Some people want day by day horoscope predictions to be real, and thus they choose to believe. I wouldn't say they are deluded, they are consuming what they want/need.
They "cheat" themselves, yes they do get what they want, but that want isn't come from intelligent objective research, they almost "falling in love" with this stuff to put it mildly.
