While I see how Sanchez disagrees with C, I don't see how Merriweather agrees with C?

Hi jl,

Merriweather says "The computer that were purchased were much more elaborate than they needed to be." So Merriweather is saying it's not that the school overpaid for the computers it purchased, but the school still paid too much because they purchased elaborate computers.

Imagine this analogous argument between a mother and a daughter.

Daughter: But Mom! My dress was on sale! It's not as expensive as you think it was! I didn't pay too much!
Mom: Honey, it's not that you paid more for the dress than it was worth, but you bought a Gucci dress when you could have bought a dress at Old Navy.

Mom thinks daughter spent more than she should have, and daughter disagrees with that.

Hope that analogy helps.
