Both your post made me chuckle. You tell it as it is.

It reminded me the last time I needed to get a new fuel pump.

No one had one in the UK, so I went direct to the manufacturer in the States.

How much is the pump? I asked

40 bucks, he said.

With the paperwork? I asked

Ah no, he said, with the paperwork that will be 180 bucks.

So what this difference? said I

We fit one to the Cheverolet, the other to your aircraft.

No, no what is the difference in the pumps, said I, you must test them to a higher standard?

Oh no, said he, same pump, same production line, no difference, except the paperwork that is.

Of course I had the one with the paperwork, because my engineer insisted.
