Ken Ewing's example is giving some apriori value to religion.
Mine: The aforementioned businessman is offered to buy a number of dogs.
Each of the dog's owners claims that his is the one that can guide you
to heaven. The businessman is not totally sure that a dog can do such a
thing, or that heaven, indeed, exists. Rhetorical question (Ken Ewing's
style): does it mean that no purchase should be made? 
I do not know. One can examine the breeds carefully. Others 
would suggest that if no proof of the quality of the merchandise
is found after 5000 years' examination, dogs (and owners) should
be sent to the pound. Whatever.
              The original question stands - "How do you choose one?"
