You’re right of course.  But like a zero-guns America, that reality will never come to pass, so why pine for it?

Right. I have worked in my industry enough to know that if I don’t do what the book says I “should” do.. as long as I have a decent reason I’m fine. If I don’t do what the book says I “shall” do.. they’ll hammer me. They’re vicious with their viscous use of the language.

I was too until I read all the horror stories online. There’s even a few Jalop commenters with bad stories. The build quality is just not great I guess. There was one guy who took delivery of a beautiful blue one whose paint had all kinds of flaws... got that corrected after much wrangling with KIA (or the…
