عامل تلپی/تالاپی

just as someone coined this phrase in English (and it needs explanation for anyone the first time it is used, even in English...don't think everyone understands a new coinage the first time they hear it) why not create one similar in Persian?

گول ظاهر را خوردن/ از روی ظاهر جنس خرید کردن

here is an example from a web site:
"The thud factor refers to the sound that your product makes when it’s tossed on a desk. The heavier your product, the more your customers will love it."

so when one buys based on thud factor, he doesn't pay attention to its real characteristics, but he judges about it based on its appearence.

عامل وزني/ سنگيني وزن كالا


n. A characteristic of a book or magazine that measures its relative weight (the "thud" it makes when you drop it on a desk or table)
or
The thud factor refers to the sound that your product makes when it’s tossed on a desk. The heavier your product, the more your customers will love it.


Example sentence:

Toss them on a desk, and you'll hear what publishers like to refer to as 'the thud factor.' (The louder the thud! thunk! or boom! the better.)

I have come to call this phenomenon the “Thud” factor. My theory is the heavier the loan file is and the louder the “thud” produced when the file hits the ground, the less likely the bank will get criticized by regulators
