You have this disparity demonstrated every time you go to the grocery 
store.  After about a year, all the time wasteing are you sure crap has 
been removed from the card processing. Stuff that never should have been 
in the code path in the first place.  Then a new card processor with his 
own card readers wins the next contract, and we repeat the same rodeo 
all over again.  Except he bought the readers from a BBLB maker, and the 
failure rate is, predictably, astronomical.
