Alin (OP), what a wonderful article. I've had the same problem and had given up experimenting for similar reasons to you. I'm now thinking to finish the cup I've half carved and have sitting on the shelf in the shed. Thanks!

Is it possible you mean 'readings' from the monitor rather than 'lectures'? If so that would be a very easy translation error to make. ('Readings' and 'lectures' can be synonyms, in the sense of someo

I'd be more sympathetic to this response if the article didn't begin with: > Yeah, you read the headline right. Ford has patented a system... The fact is that it is not protected by a patent. That said, the fact that they are _

I found your last paragraph entirely unambiguous at all three levels, which led me to disgree with your overall point. Before that I was with you!

GP observed that either the profit margin or the input cost is absorbing the difference, so I think the logic holds well and you are in agreement :)
