I don't ignore shit. For instance, I've noticed in my lifetime that complex electrical shit invariably fucks up (sometimes, in less than a year's time), where simple mechanical shit from the 1900s still works flawlessly even today.

You can fly in whatever shit bucket you want. I personally like vehicles where the controls are attached to....well, the control SURFACES.

I know....but I had to ask it. That's just how I roll.

You are failing to take COST into the equation. I can assure you that if price is no object, electronic components would and could last a lifetime.

True, a space grade hermetically sealed highly quality controlled relay costs $100+ while an automotive grade relay that does the same thing is a couple of bucks.
