I don't know what T.Y. does differently than anyone other manufacturer,
I just know that the product is more reliable than those from many of
their competitors. It doesn't much matter to me exactly HOW they
accomplish that; it could be by sprinkling magic fairy dust over them or
by having them blessed by a Zoroastrian priest. Or perhaps they use higher
quality materials or better manufacturing processes.
