And why is the supplier going to" remain nameless"? I'd like to know
who it was
so I can avoid a supplier with those ethics (and my safety on the line).

This methodology was used in the late 1950' to purposely throw a

market at all costs.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
As evidenced by your feature driven Nightly Network News.
The peripheral systems and how they are treated by the person
responsible for the safety of flight of that aircraft, which is the
"Pilot in Command" are the major cause of flight failure.
My own crash, while outside of the boundries of the latest poll,
was blamed on the mechanic who installed a gascolator. That
mechanic was fined $750 and his IA was suspended for 30 days.
However the real culprit was a parts provider, who is still in
business and shall remain nameless, who provided an FAA approved
and stamped part, (A Gascolator) which had been modified after it
was approved with the addition of a quick drain valve which was
permatexed in place with an adhesive that disolved in 100 Octane LL
aircraft fuel. allowing the quick drain to fall out in flight. The
NTSB report specified "Engine Failure!"
Do not believe all that seems truthful to you. If you do, you are
in for many surprises throughout your life.
