There has to be a reason
Plenty of things are fine. We only write about the ones with a real idea behind them: a clever mechanism, an unusual material, a decision somebody stuck to for decades.
- 02
The downsides are in there too
Every object has a short section on where it falls short.
- 03
We show where we got it
Every fact links to its source, and every price has the date we saw it.
