No, good engineering practice is to to modularize, to make parts replacable, to make them more independent. > What I am being repeatedly battered to > accept, is the irrationality that the whole always entirely affects > the parts!

Since I havn't been activily following the thread I can't say what you are reacting to, but it is usually helthier to not be affected by what people writes in mailing lists. Have some distance to it, use what helps you and disregard what hurts you. > How come changing a power transistor to another type with a > higher voltage rating and the same gain affect circuit performance? > Notwithstanding power transistors were not listed as equivalent I used > to replace them in TV sets in this way and no customer came back > complaining. ... Higher voltage ratings usually comes with a higher capacitance, so you get resistive losses when more charges gets pumped around, hence a hotter component in some kind of applications. There is also some issues in high freq. applications.
