So you're going to have to do some actual thinking with regards to hull components and their capabilities instead of copying some cookie-cutter setup from scrapheap challenge or wherever for "guaranteed" results. Boo hoo. Cry some more.

now sir i got some questions for you
1) if that was inverse or better say if any player flame Whisper you will buy a beer at fanfest for that player ?
2) if any player flame a dev you will make the same reply ?
And now Sir, I got an answer for you!
1) If Whisper posted a whiny complaint about how a future Eve expansion will fail I would buy anybody flaming him a beer.
2) If the need arises, yes!
But I find it very unlikely to see whiny posts from CCP about their game, while it is very common that some dumbass noobs ask CCP to 'fix losec', 'bring Concord to losec and 0.0', 'fix ninjasalvaging', you name it...
The way Eve is designed, makes it very appealing for many and very frustrating for few players. If the few who are complaining find another game to play there is really nothing wrong with it. The spirit of the game was well reflected by Whisper's accurate reply which I highly appreciate.
I am working in sales. When a potential customer tells me that he likes the products of a competitor more than the one of the company that I work for, I will not go down on my knees and beg him to like my product. Products cannot satisfy everybody and this is the reason why there is a multitude of different products on the same sector. Companies trying to make a product that appeals to everybody, end up with a product that satisfies nobodie's requirements perfectly. A jack of all trades, but master of none.
I told some potential customers already that there is nothing wrong about buying from the competitor - in front of my boss. If you have a philosophy you should stick to it - or you will lose those customers who bought your philosophy with the product.

ppl are more often to say "yes"(approve a thing) if they have a hot liquid or something similar
and ppl more often say "no"(disapprove) if they have/drink/eat something cold
Orly? You should tell ice cream and soft drink producers about this. How could Coca Cola and Red Bull survive on the market when offering cold beverages?
You're right, we should not have choices! So from now on there will only be one MMORPG, one brand of cars, one brand of clothes. Hmmm, actually I think that concept has been tried and was not very successful.

Got a questions for you.
If you have to sell cheese from X a company that have 25 different type of cheese and you can give a free sample and also you can give 1Gé¼ discount if a person try the product.
how many type of cheese you will put on sample table to sell more?
a)4-7
b)8-12
c)13-18
d)18-25
This approach is usually being used when introducing a new product, i.e. one new type of cheese - maybe a second one (brie with pepper and brie with pieces of bacon in it).
CCP has got one type of cheese (Eve) and is preparing one type of sausage (the vampire game that I don't recall at the moment). CCP is offering a sample (trial version) of their cheese to the customers.
So going by your example, CCP does not offer too many choices to confuse you. It is up to you if you like their cheese better than the competitor's cheese (WoW). You don't like CCP's cheese (maybe because it has pepper and bacon in it and you want only bacon) and that is perfectly fine. One can just hope that the competitor's cheese will appeal to you because otherwise you will have to get along without cheese for your entire life 
P.S.: Your excellent education obviously did not cover languages (which is sad for a commercial career path). You should try this.

the cheese is the T3 not eve and on t3 you get many many possible combinations (anyone remember the number that was said on fanfest?)
Continuing a useless, but somehow interesting argument:
Cheese = product
Eve = product
Pepper = ingredient
T3 = ingredient
You cannot buy T3 with your credit card from CCP, only Eve. T3 is a part of it.
CCP is now in the process of changing the recipe of their cheese by adding a new ingredient, sure this is risky as it changes the overall taste. But let's just wait til it is finished and we can try it. If it tastes horrible I am sure many people will talk to CCP about it and they will change it in a way to make it taste better for all of us.
Peace
