Nat Ives at Ad Age wrote an article about Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt and his comments about the the internet becoming a “cesspool for false information.”
Schmidt’s solution to the problem was the following:
"Brands are the solution, not the problem," Mr. Schmidt said. "Brands are how you sort out the cesspool."

Schmidt went on to say that the future of quality editorial is, moreover, hardly certain. "It's a huge question in the world," Mr. Schmidt said, "particularly in the United States."
Schmidt went on to say that branding, on the other hand, may be an essential element that helps people navigate the world, he said. "Brand affinity is clearly hard wired," he said. "It is so fundamental to human existence that it's not going away. It must have a genetic component."

Not to the point that your father ejaculated swooshes, but he could have made a point through the psychology of preference. We consciously or unconsciously determine purchases by some affinity or denotation/connotation of the brand.
