Wow whisperer! How to make friends! I hope some of the 'ballast' will educate you later.
Your points are, how should I say this politely..boollocks!
If we had traded some of the capability of the blue circle (which was a very reliable lump of concrete) what would we have gained?
As the F3 matured (and I'm only talking about the weapon system here), it got vastly MORE capable, complex AND reliable. In the early days in was extremely fragile. As time progressed it become more and more robust.
When you next buy a car, ask them to take out the ABS, TRAC, Airbags, Electric windows, DSG, Radio, GPS and the AC as you just want something reliable...There are a couple of 1980's Lada's on ebay if you're interested?
