We absolutely have seen worst case failures for everything except perhaps dam failures. Your solar and windmill speculations are completely implausible, relying on nebulous things "we don't know". But we know exactly how ba

Ahhh yes, the original fansubs. The good ones came with liner notes, explaining linguistinc and cultural nuances. And there was substantial debate in the fandom concerning the ethics. How much margin over the price of a blank tape was accep

I am not saying at all that it is "less" (in what way do you even imagine that?), I am saying that in cases where it has nothing to do with working harder and everything with profiting off the work of others, which is invariably t
