"YOur points about the influence of style and design on the relative prices are completely irrelevant"

they are in fact not only relevant, they are EXTREMELY relevant...

"Silk has inherently more value than cotton and a garment of silk will always cost more than an equivalent garment of cotton"

silk has an equivalent in cotton?...well then, i guess spider silk does also...that being the case, i fail to see that there is any point at all to your argument...

"To see how true that is, compare something where style is largely irrelevant and the value of the material is paramount"

its always about style, design, wear, practicality, price, fit, feel, value, and fashion...and that is true even in bedsheets...but do give it another try..

"Silk sheets are much more expensive that cotton sheets"

depends on the silk...depends on the cotton..

"And the reason that people are willing to pay for that is the feel (none of your friends or neighbors are going to see you sleeping on silk sheets (well, except for, hopefully, a select few)"

there are many reasons some people want silk sheets...see above for all those reasons...i know you would like it to be just one reason..the reason you chose...because its fits your needs...but obviously there never is just one reason...
