This happens a lot with previously respected brands. By making high-quality products for a long time, they acquire a reputation for durability. Then the founder retires or sells the brand, and it's taken over by wolves. They start making things that look the same but use much lower-quality (read: cost) components. They make a lot of money off of people's habits, as the people who were loyal to the brand tend to take a long time to change their views and buying habits.

Yeah, ask lottery winners how well that works out. If you don't have the skills to handle it, money disappears in a BIG hurry.

I'd rather die of stabbing than burning. Doesn't mean getting stabbed is a good thing.

Wouldn't have to if things didn't happen to you. As with most "It's not X, it's Y" statements, nature and nurture both play their part.

If you're using thinking properly, you're not overthinking. That's why "thinking" and "overthinking" are separate words.

For something that uses a lot of power, gets very hot very quickly, and is constantly filled with flammable substances...you better be sure you know what you're doing.
