I suspect that the manufacturers would have balked at any reasonable
offer.
Facts that are not in evidence.

History has shown those facts in evidence ~ especially on the North
American continent where greed and competition know no bounds.

That's the point. SawStop's inventor tried to make that happen. You
apparently think that's a good thing.

Maybe Leon is referring to a truly working safety device as being a good
thing and not as you prefer to believe Steve Gass trying to force the
issue. And even if Gass was trying to for the adoption of the Sawstop,
it's a working safety device. Whatever way gets it to market fastest is a
good thing as far as I'm concerned. It seems all you're concerned with is
not being coerced in any way to use the device despite its benefits.

I certainly wish them all the luck. I know I won't be buying one.

Of course you wouldn't buy one. You'd rebel against anything and
everything that forces you to be safe. You must go nuts having to wear a
seat belt, drive the speed limit and stop at red lights. You far to
concerned with yourself to realize that almost *every* safety mandate out
there benefits *everybody* when it prevents you from getting hurt.

Some people get a little insight into something that they know little about
and rebel. Then they pay out the nose for insurance not realizing that they
have cut their nose off to spite their face.
