I can only offer a rumor about a manufacturer of electrolytic
capacitors. The story goes, a major well-known corporation was
developing a physically smaller, less expensive capacitor. They had a
prototype, which design was stolen and began appearing in the
cheap-parts market. The prototype was flawed, so the cheap parts are
similarly flawed.
