The word being used is 'composites'.  Unlike you, I don't try to read
peoples' minds to discover that they don't really mean 'composites' at
all.  I take them at their word and assume that if they mean 'carbon
fiber' they will say that rather than 'composites'.

Don't need to read anyone's mind but you do have to read the fucking
thread!  ...if you're able.

And when you do you will find they use the word 'composites' and not
'carbon fiber'.

Not really, 3D printing is capable of exponential growth once it reaches a 
certain capability, composites aren't, and the parts we won't be fabricating for 
a while, processors and storage, are subject to Moore's law.

Thanks for that info. I didn't realize it was that high. Since the gross 
fueled mass of a jet is about twice the empty mass, this means the landing 
gear weight can be up to 14% of the structural weight of a plane.

In fact, contrary to popular belief SSTO's are actually easy.
Just use the most efficient engines and stages at the same time,
and the result will automatically be SSTO.

Marketing types certainly do.  Consumers have always bought toasters
based on their looks.  After all, the thousands of different designs
all do the same thing.

You'd argue that every color is the same?  The fact is that marketing
differentiates their product from the competition by making stuff
*look* different.  Similar, sure, but that's the way fashion goes.  A
few years ago every car looked pretty much the same but that's not the
same "same" as it is now.

Post your data supporting this preposterous claim.  If you'd said
"most have some chrome on them" that might be supportable, but not

I haven't bought a chrome one in a long time.  These days they all
have an outer plastic layer.  The only chrome you see is less than an
inch around the slots/

In the link I gave above, most of the toasters shown are in fact chrome.

Anecdote is not the singular of data.  Looking at sites that actually
sell toasters, most of them appear to be black with chrome trim.

From 3/4 of a century ago, sure.  Styles change and that's exactly the
point.  The statement being refuted is that all toasters "look pretty
much the same", which is simply BS.
