And I was being ironic, although no one will be able to tell that from
your quote. Oh well.

The components most likely to fail in a piece of
electrical/electronic equipment are switchs. So the way to make
cameras more reliable is to remove the mechanical aperture ring from
the lens that is used only with that lens and replace it with a
multi-position, multi-function switch that is not only used to set
aperture with every lens, but also as a shutter speed switch, an ISO
switch, etc. Almost guaranteed to reduce the usable life of the
camera by a factor of 100 or so (To be honest it also reduces the
cost of manufacture by a factor of 2 or 3). This is progress?
