I hadn't seen this before, so this is...interesting to me.

Every single design element he touches on thus far has given me an identical reaction, though - "Well, that's an interesting way to do it, but there's really no clear reason -why-...." followed by "Wait, did this guy just...not understand why other manufacturers do it different?" followed by "...this is just like Not Invented Here syndrome in the software world"

I've seen some business systems that were....essentially the computer equivalent of this gun: "innovative" in their way, but a whole lot of "why?" and unnecessary nonsense to make sure it's not the standard way of doing it.
