Perhaps--I do rely on samples sent by customers. If the customer
gets the product and it works just fine for them, I consider the case
closed.
The fact that someone identified the sample with any accuracy at all
was remarkable. I've had samples given as being from a Hazeltine
computer (the customer not realizing that the terminal was made by
Hazeltine, not the computer itself) or, lately and more common--
"here's a box of floppies; I don't remember what they came from."
That can be a real adventure, seeing word-processor disks mixed in
with old 400K Mac disks mixed in with various flavors of MS-DOS and
CP/M disks.
