I mean, even if it's easy to do, that doesn't mean a manufacturing process is easy to ramp up. You need equipment to produce it, and people to do it. Logistics of that isn't like just turning on/off a light switch.
Some people have never tried getting a product to market before, and it shows.
I would wager most of us haven't.
I don't care what you say the am/fm butt plug was going to be revolutionary!
At that point, you can just call it bm radio
Without headlines, no investors. Without investors, no equipment. Without equipment, no product. Headlines like these drive investment.
Yes, exactly. My point is that I'm tired of these bullshit headlines that are implying that we have some great breakthrough; unless the discovery also accounts for everything you listed, it's not a breakthrough and we, the public, don't need to hear about it just so that a newspaper can sell clicks and ruin trust in science.
You seem to be conflating breakthrough with manufacturing capacity
No, I'm just not referring to a slightly novel manufacturing process that will probably lead nowhere as a "breakthrough".
Some of us like learning about science and technology, if you only want to know about products then watch adverts.
The average person understands the difference between 'will' and 'could'
I love shows like How It's Made, you get to see the Rube Goldbergian systems that produce stuff we take for granted.
