I don't disagree with your assertion that the product should be able to stand on its own merits. If the product works the way it was intended, nothing else should be a bit deal.

Hmmmm...I don't know, ladies. There's just so much more we need to examine before we make any rash decisions, am I right? We need more material for judging ;)

I'm not crazy about the situation, but hey, as long as it works out for the both of them in the end, good for them. People have found happiness in weirder ways.
