Replying to Kids bashing companies?

Am i the only one who feels like all these kids are saying a surtain ski/company is better then others just cause it is what they have/ their parents bought them. Like for example last week on my mountain i was talking to these kids about skis, they had scratches, and i was on my invaders. and i mentioned that i also had a pair of chronics. and one kid replied "yeah, chronics break too easy for me".. and at first i thought he ws joking! but he was serious. and later he got around to saying how invaders catch edges super easy!! both statements totally opposite of the truth! but he says that stuff because he doesnt like line, because he rides rossignols! and amost all these kids say "rossignols are better!" "k2's are better" "armada's are better!" etc. because thats what they ride!.. why is this? i cant believe people do shit like this but i see it all the time!
