Excepting you are a zealot convinced of your own experience, you would concede there is a possibility you are are short sighted?

Sorry to get philosophical here but your experience is and never will be the totality of experiences. If that be the case how can you be so sure that the reasons behind this system are irrational and incompetent?

Bah - using "incompetent", "slower, "lower-quality", "ignorant" and "arrogant" - you haven't got a shred of evidence any or all of these applies - must be preconceived notions - very enlightened of you!
