That is an amazing review Fareastdriver. Thank you.
On the point about stretching the elastic too far, I understand the point you are trying to make and I am sure that it's a point that will appeal to many. However, people trying to design complex products (cars, trucks, ships, aircraft, ...) to be reliable and safe, like to know exactly how much the elastic has been stretched already. With this objective, some industries aim for 80% proven product and 20% new design. It seems to me that this is broadly how the Puma story has been written, and over at Leonardo, how the AW169 and AW189 stories are now being written. BK117 anyone?
