Humorous, so I give you points. 🙂 What they did say, though, was it was a monstrosity, loud, smelly, and no one would ever want to use it. It's a beast, it's a travesty... no, the various components weren't decried, but what did happen was engineers kept working on and improving all the various complaints, issues, odd "nobody really wants this" features, technogies were iterated, and strange things came and went. The ones that stayed on through it all (the engineers) are the ones that ultimately helped to resolve all of it... Yes, they were driven by their management who were driven by the market and consumers, but the analogy holds, if loosely.
