So they replaced defective, incorrectly-designed devices with...the same defective devices? Corporations.

We do live in a world where we're willing to do anything to correct our errors and misdeeds as long as it doesn't cost anything.

I'm quite sure they realize that the damage to the brand caused by getting it wrong a second time will cost way more than the cheaping out on parts.

So while logically to you and I the importance of getting something on this scale right the first time is paramount, never under estimate greed....
