And how would they determine that?

If I have to explain that to you you shouldn't be in this thread in the
first place.

How did he "misrepresent" it?

And I if I have to teach you to read as well, you should reconsider your
decision to be doing anything at all on Usenet.

Well put bull ****.

No wonder you get taken.

I got taken to a very nice restaurant this weekend. Your taste in food is
not something I share.

What does the price of a plane have to do with its airworthiness?

Maybe the fact that price is usually a measure of "suitability for
a purpose"?

Really? On what planet, Tom?

This one. What planets version of "value" (which determines price) are
YOU using? Kalifornia's?

Ah, so now you backpedal like there's no tomorrow and change your tune from
"price" to "value". Ok, fine. What does "value" have to do with
"airworthiness"?

Ever buy something custom made?

Yes, but it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. As it related to
the items I mentioned, none were custom items. In fact, IIRC, according
to the press, Congresional hearings, and military people which were
interviewed, nothing was custom about them. In fact, it was mentioned
many times that any hardware store could of provided the items at a proper
price.


If I really need a specific tub liner, and your's is all I have, it
might be worth $900.

Not when you can go to the store and get one for 1/10 the price.


Do you know WHY the military had to pay $600 for hammers and why they
could not get them at Ace Hardware.

According to everything I ever read about the subject, there never was a
single reason to support those prices, aside from simply attempting to
steal from Peter to pay Paul. Feel free to correct as needed

Evidently, terminology is foreign to you.

Doubtful.


What does the term "price" mean to you (other than what TV advertising
says).

Oh shesh. I shutter anytime I hear this. As if it actually answers
anything. You said, "Maybe the fact that price is usually a measure of
'suitability for a purpose'." The problem is, it isn't. Price is a
measure of what the market is willing to bare for an item and often has
nothing to do with suitability or quality. Such statements also blindly
ignore the human condition, which is blindly open to manipulation by
marketing and sheer stupidity or ignorance.

The reason I poked fun is because you seem to give the impression that the
more you pay for something, with no exception, will always be better than
anything for which you can pay less. In otherwords, if I take two
identical planes, and raise the price 10% on one, you gave me the
impression that you think the higher priced of the two is
automatically better.


Cheers,

Greg

The True Value hardware would work fine - IF it met the required specs.

Therein lies the rub.

With comprehension skills like that, I can see why you need someone to hold
your hand.

Even if it costs the life of several other people?
