You mean like space bananas (yum), dishwashing soap, hamburger buns,
Gore-tex jackets, and Intel CPUs?

Why are you posting some kid's webpage verbatim? If that is where
you're pulling most of your information from that would explain the
source of errors and lack of evidence you've been providing in your
posts.

Do yourself, and your reputation, a favor and don't cite this kids
page (good for a school project but not much else) but look to
authoritative sources instead. It's clear he has no understanding of
manufacturing processes, commerce, or probability.

I won't even bother to refute the points now that I know that
they're not yours and you've just copied his entire page into this
post.
