IMO, your crack about NTSC is unjustified. In the 1950s, TV and
electronics was in it's infancy. No transistors, no ICs, and a large base
of installed, expensive sets. A TV set cost about as much as a car!
IMO, NTSC color was a very elegant engineering solution to backwards
compatability. Without that, we could well be still watching B&W.
In contrast, many european countries adopted the government control of the
TV transmissions. The UK had nothing but the BBC.... booooring!
IMO, we all owe Don Fink a big Thank You for BTSC.
YMMV,
