The point is you can't rely on a supplier not to rip you off. There

a manufactirer, supplier or shipper and test a few products and base
your results on that.


Given how much of that cable ended up being sold, something needs

Most people do rely on suppliers rightly or wrongly


It's likely the maker passed on at least some of the savings they made in
