A well known
ScamPattern
is
NewWineInOldBottles
. But the converse is also a
ScamPattern
. Some things are more valuable when they're new; getting something old and promoting it as something new is selling
OldWineInNewBottles
.
For example you can rebrand something that everyone already understands (ie.
PublishAndSubscribe
) as something everyone wants to understand (ie.
AspectOrientedProgramming
). Eg.
AopIsMulticaster
.
