I guess that explains why things like modern refrigerators are so much more reliable and durable than the ones that were made 20 years ago. /s

By that reckoning, modern cars should be just about perfect, modulo certain modern expectations like not emitting greenhouse gases?

What I've found fascinating about the refrigerators I've had recently is that the refrigeration process rarely is the part that breaks. However the plastic shelves decompose right about the time the warranty goes out. My guess is that this is by design to sell more refrigerators or $200 plastic shelves.

The reliability of a modern mass produced automobile is incredible. If a software company could produce software with a few defects as a modern automobile they would rule the world.
