You can't prove a negative. That's a straw man.

Customers have asked for increased performance. That requires more efficiency of the overall process. Whether that's advanced ECM's, new casing processes for parts, ceramic bearings, or coatings to reduce friction, it's still what is wanted by a consumer...and produced by a manufacturer.

Government produces debt. Should produce protection.
