What I find peculiar is Chris Witmer’s desire to defend the new prices.

I don't like having words put into my mouth. I'm not trying to "defend" anything. I explained why the price is what it is. Whether that's a bargain or a waste of money is something that I am not in a position to debate, and I made that clear at the outset. People are free to make those value judgments on their own, and they will make those value judgments on their own in any case, regardless of any opinon I might have on that subject. But quite apart from that, some people might find it useful to know why the price is what it is.

Pay attention, neither Chris nor anybody else says that the new $40K Feastex drivers are able to do sonically something that the former Feastex drivers can’t. Instead Chris dives into debating the fear of Permendur.

No, you pay attention, please. I only explained why the price is what it is, and I'm not going to make any assertions about what the drivers can or cannot do relative to anything else. Again, I'm not debating anything about Permendur, but simply stating facts about costs that could be objectively verified by anyone who cared to do so (as opposed to simply making a bunch of unverified assumptions, including the convenient and self-flattering assumption that whatever has been assumed to be correct must actually be correct).

Chris shall suggest that disagreeing parties go fuck themselves.

Those are your words, and emphatically not mine, and they reveal a great deal more about what's in your heart than anything else. What I will do is state the obvious, which is that although you have many excellent insights in many areas, you also have some character defects that interfere with your judgment and which I hope you are someday able to overcome. In the meantime I trust that most rational people, in the event that they might be interested in your opinions, will be able to tell the difference between when you are talking very good sense and when you are verging off into nonsense and speculation.

Good day, gentlemen.
