Because that's the way it goes. That's the nature of the beast. When someone says to you, "Oh, whichever, I don't mind," chances are that on some level, they're flat-out lying. Okay, sure, maybe the truth of the matter is that ultimately they'd be happy to eat sushi instead of Chinese or vice versa. Maybe it's not a life-or-death decision. But they do have a proclivity, however slight. There was a slight momentary flash of, "Gee, an egg roll might be nice," before they realised that some crab tempura could do just the same.
That's the thing about choices: they force a person to choose.
When you're given more than one option, one of the two will seem more appealing. Maybe it's not a value thing, maybe its not really a judgment, but you're going to lean in one direction or the other. At least for a moment.
