    Interesting, but there is a slight technical error in the part where he talks about the parametric fam.

    "... it's not cheap, but I'm sure the government will buy it ..."

    It has. And so have we all, in so many ways.

    It should be pointed out, by the way, that this presentation described a prototype; it wasn't until later in the production run that headlight fluid level monitoring and autonomous replenishment were built into the auxiliary bus, in response to customer demand generated by an exceptionally effective advertising campaign.

    Hmmm? What's that? A joke? No, I don't think so, not one bit.

    On the 2011 Prius, Toyota upgraded the parametric tabulator dingle spring using magneto inducer tabs. Makes a huge performance difference.

    I had a coworker in the Training Department who could spout this stuff like it was everyday conversation. He would answer questions in gibberish or just throw it in to make sure people were paying attention.

    He must have been a marketing person in a previous life.

    No, it's not a joke at all. Afterall, you're the flying the planes with $10K toilet seats. Hey, don't yell at me, I'm just a retired procurement guy!
