I think a lot of the lack of acceptance of the Andersen design/fabrication is "personal expectations of the product".

Think back to 2015 and all the "hoopla" that was going on about Ford changing the F150 from a "steel body truck" to a "military grade aluminum truck". Chevy produced commercials dropping toolboxes in their "better because it's a steel bed" and the discussions on here ranged from "It's junk and won't last" to "aluminum will make the truck impossible to repair and insurance will go sky high."......

The same occurred when television went from analog (2-13 VHF channels) to digital TV that required a "converter box" to use older sets. Now, try to find an old "tube type TV". But during the conversion, the "choice words" available to describe what the government was doing to us and how those "foreign TV's are taking over Westinghouse, Sylvania and RCA".....

I think a large part of the "lack of acceptance" is simply the human response to change.... It ain't like I expected, so it ain't gonna work and I ain't gonna spend my money on something new. Let someone else suffer the failures and losses, not me......
