Every time someone says "I don't believe in theories", another theory
dies. Ignoring issues of clumsiness and skinned knuckles, getting what you
want isn't as easy as it should be, because vendors buy whatever is
cheapest on the spot market. Not only don't you know that an order
identical to one you sent yesterday will be filled with the same parts,
you don't even know whether multiple instances on the same order will be
filled with the same parts.
