 Hidden flaws are cool, fun to explore.  Any patents will have
 run out.  Furthermore, most were for specific applications.
 It's hard to patent simple circuits (that should not have
 been granted patents), and very expensive to prosecute
 violations in court.

 Cute!  That's what we did with 'Bad Circuits" in the 2nd
 edition.  We received so many emails asking for solutions,
 but what we did was to assert badness, and thereby trigger
 massive thought processes in the reader.  Ditto for the
 exercises.  I always sincerely invited a second request,
 and promised to provide hints, but rarely got one.  I was
 ready, really, enjoy emailing, but I suppose that's good.

 It's fun to use SPICE, but it's not not instructive. 
 Evaluation and analytical analysis would be better.
