I look at it like this.
I go to a restaurant with my friend. I’m going to treat him to lunch. We each order an angus steak burger, and I’m paying for both burgers.
Here’s my friend’s steak burger:
Other than not having any trimmings, it looks good eh? Juicy, tasty, mmmm. Just what I would expect from a steak burger. It looks and tastes like a steak burger, because it IS a steak burger. And the steak burger patty is comparable in size and cost to other competitor’s steak burgers.
Now here’s mine:
Hmmm, something isn’t right.
Yes, it IS technically a steak burger. It’s made with the same chopped steak. It’s juicy and tasty. I guess technically it’s “alright”, with “no errors” (that I can taste anyways). But, ummm it’s kind of a big let down. It’s 1/4 the size of the other steak burger. And compared to competitors’ steak burgers, it does not represent good value for my money. I expect the 2nd burger to be just like the 1st burger, especially since I’m paying for both.
Personally, I would not be happy with the 2nd steak burger, and I would never go back to that restaurant. But, I’m sure for some other people the 2nd rinky dink steak burger I got would be “good enough” and “alright”.
Now imagine the steak burger patties are the copper conductors inside a cable, and the buns are the wire insulation:
Sure, they are both “alright”, but which one would YOU rather have? I certainly can’t speak for everyone, but I’d want both wire conductors to be like the 1st steak burger.
And before someone points out that cables are not steak burgers, and the rules are somehow different for burgers and cables. To those people I would say ‘are they
really different?’ Why is it OK to get gypped on a steak burger but not a cable?
