Default Is our view of old engineering distorted by the products which survive?

The problem with Muntz TVs was that they could not be repaired. Most TV
repair shops would refuse to touch a Muntz.


Not because they were inherently unrepairable, but because they were crap.
There was no way a service shop could end up with a happy customer, so they
learned not to try. You woud probably get the same reaction if you took your
Yugo to your mechanic for a tune up.
