Tolerance is overrated and misunderstood. And we're all paying the

Labeling this
as a religious argument is as rudely dismissive as
it is incorrect. It's not a religious argument...it's a usability
and stability argument, and it's quite valid.
I think it's a testament to what sort of unreliability is tolerable
to many people. Compare and contrast to land lines versus cell
phones.
People cheerfully pay twice as much for a portable phone that
is far less reliable than their land line.
