    If it's required, then you can differentiate your product on the market, but the regulatory requirements are driving the decision to spend money on it.

    I use to have a neighbor with a car that made all nearby buildings shake, 5am every morning, idling for 3-4 minutes. It always made me laugh but it never struck me as beautiful.
