Maybe I'm just paying attention, but I don't see anyone 
bashing a prominent manufacturer for sport. It isn't fun, but 
I do think it's necessary to point out, and describe in 
detail, the sometimes vast gap between the accepted as gospel 
mythology and marketing, and the observable facts. Some of us 
actually are concerned with facts, even when they obsolete 
much of what we were trained to accept as reality. That's both 
the hard, and the fun part.
