This is an absolutely stunning display of short-sightedness and
design absurdity. It's like building a boat that can only carry
the driver and no cargo or passengers. Basically we are talking
about a pleasure craft. This is so laughable that I find it
incredible to believe. Surely this is not true. If it is true,
surely it will not stay this way.

Factual references anyone?
