I vaguely remember a dystopian book that described that exact thing as the protagonist thinking he was looking at an odd flag on the front of the truck until he realized what it was. Can’t remember what the book was though 😔

*** everyone but the lobbyists liked that ***

That’s some interesting insight - thanks 👍

I’ve done some sm work but as repairs and upgrades … it definitely was /easier/ to remove and replace: that was for sure. I’m unclear on if it ultimately had a higher real world failure rate though.

Personally I’m hopeful that their reasoning for this is increasing the quality of what does hit shelves even if there is a higher on line failure rate. They can’t always be the cheapest (and recently haven’t been) but if they can double down on “It just works” for a slightly higher price… I’m here for it and I imagine other makers likely will be as well.

So if I’m reading that right - higher failure rate on the line but those that passed I’d imagine have a higher rate of success?
