"bad money drives out good" started as Gresham's Law in economics but just fits this unpleasant drift in machine design and production. Thank Goodness that it is not a "Law" nor is economics a science. I marvel at yesteryear's standards just as do most of the people at this forum but every once in a while I'll see a "machine" built to fuzzy standards plunk away day after day leaving me flabbergasted as to how does it do it and who was the genius level jerk that designed and built it.
