Well, hell then, that settles it.
Lemme see, possibly one of these books??dawkins blurred.jpg
His watershed was, of course, The Selfish Gene, where at the end he introduced the idea (and, in fact, the word) 'meme'.
Edit: Oh, yeah, I was pretty sure it was the lower one, lol dawkins blurred 01.jpg
And I absolutely love that quote.
I would buy a towel with that quote on it.

Exactly to all. Pretty sure towel is crucial.
Back to Earth... you're not going to find a 10-oz beach towel on a whole lot of gear lists.
Again, exactly what do you intend to use it for? Most people will use something like a Pack Towl (or some such) and even then will cut that in half. A full-sized towel is just cra-cra bulky and heavy.
Being serious, a good sized cotton bandanna is a great all purpose item. Works well as backpacker "towel"...and just as useful as mentioned in the Hitchhiker's Guide.

$2 or $3 at the most, too.
A Patagucci/Lululemon wannabe towel is overkill.

Good stuff. I remember in his Ultralight backpackin' tips that M. Clelland! illustrated a bandanna with 2 corners cut off, lol! Well, I personally wouldn't go that far, but as with a lot of things UL it is an example that is more intended to reinforce the mindset than to reduce weight.
so the outlier part is that the pricing is 2 standard deviations higher than the norm?
