You've got a point.  In (shudder) sales terms, what
we're talking about here is positioning and that's
always relevant both to the salesman and the product
being shilled.  

What we're trying to sell people, it would seem, is a
viewpoint, not neccessarily a morality, but certainly
a sympathy for other intelligent creatures (even ugly mutants.)
