| This is just hysterical nonsense. The idea that devices have to prove that they are 100% fail proof before development can continue is nonsense. Lots of devices can cause interference and devices often fail. Point of sale terminals in stores can go bad and start interfering. In fact it has happened in the past where emergency frequencies have tracked down problems to malfunctioning terminals. We don't go off on a crusade to eradicate all devices. Lots of devices cause local interference problems. That is as common as dirt. Just because we don't hear endless hysterical ranting about the end of the world doesn't mean that it isn't happening everywhere as we sit here and post.
This latest failure wasn't even a failure in the question that the device was submitted to study, namely interference potential. It was an unrelated hardware failure in powering the device. Saying that any failure proves that the device shouldn't continue development is a standard that would bring capitalism to a dead stop.
This is simply an asinine standard that, if followed, would end all technological development and would require all present devices, from automobiles to microwaves to clock radios, to have to be removed from the market.
Of course this product isn't ready for "prime time". It's a prototype. It isn't a finished product being released tomorrow to the market. It was intended to test for interference issues. Complaining that it isn't functioning perfectly is as stupid as complaining that an 1900 automobile doesn't run as well as a 2008 honda civic hybrid.
You have to start somewhere people. Technology evolves and is refined. It doesn't just fall out of the sky one day in its perfect and final form. NO technology has EVER met the absurd criteria that opponents are trying to establish. |

If you design a Yugo to run on railroad tracks it's going to run like a Yugo on railroad tracks. |

When you test a prototype in a lab, it's not ready for prime time. When you have the FCC test your device for interference, you must think that you're at least close to release.
