Sometimes when a company tests something, it doesn't work. From a "Company Standpoint", I am sure that they would rather see one or two prototypes break so they can find out what the problem is before shipping to consumers and finding that they're getting hundreds of consumer returns for repairs. When that happens A) people get mad that their piece of equipment failed in the first place, B) that they have to pay for shipping to send it back, and C) that they have to wait 7-14 days to get their stuff back. Craig's a hell of a driver. Craig's "JOB" includes testing experimental products. And yes, this is The Worlds, but testing never stops.
