Is it really 'looking down on'? If someone has a slower car (than them), would it be the same? I know i have a 'less developed palate', than many as i like the same things day after day after day, then i change something and remain the same again. I occasionally enjoy a vindaloo and other indian food. I know people that chop and change and cook and experiment, and they can tell immediately if I've under-salted a pasta or over-cooked some vegetable. To some of us, food is fuel, and that's it. I fear people nowadays take any form of comparison as an insult.

Right, it's conflating development stage with a value judgement thereon.

Someone else might acknowledge that increased complexity is typically an indicator of a later development stage, while preferring or finding moral goodness in an earlier stage of development, or having no value judgement on it at all.
