Just a point of clarification. I said:
"I don't mean to suggest that the factory necessarily knew what it was
doing. But,
if you want to assume that it knew what it was doing with the 4.22, the
same logic would suggest that it also knew what it was doing when it went
with the 3.89."
First, obviously I was wrong about when the factory switched, including the
fact that they switched back. Second, I actually meant to imply by the
foregoing that I do not believe one can ever assume that the factory knew
what it was doing, or that 30 years later we can ever be sure that bean
counters, or supplier problems, etc., did not cause a change, or lack of
change, as opposed to a technological reason. Having personal knowledge,
such as Dick has, is a different story.
Defensive mode off.
