I believe the standard of “people who consume the product know why to pay more for a good one” is pretty universal.

See I would assume the opposite as a starting place, I would presume the cheaper option tastes worse. Between a cheap handle of vodka and an alternate that is a few more dollars, i would avoid the cheaper option but not because i have knowledge of the more expensive version.

Spoken like a person who doesn't drink alcohol. I can tell the difference between Johnny Walker black Johnny Walker Blue and Johnnie Walker red, at least for the first three drinks

There is a lot more to tasting than simply being able to tell different things apart. Your average joe on the street who's had some wine in his life could probably distinguish one wine from another; that doesn't mean he's ready to be a wine taster.

I'm absolutely not trying to be pedantic here but it definitely tripped me up when I saw Johnny Walker twice, and then some other fellow named Johnnie Walker, on your list.
