Here's a third given: If an engineer tells you that something was
engineered without compromise, tell them you want to talk to a real
engineer, not a marketing spokesperson. I'd go so far as to suggest that a
good working definition of engineering would be "the art of making the best
compromises". Even allowing costs to rise without limit is a compromise.
