If each of two theories explain ALL relevant observations, what's the point of accepting the more complicated theory? To make your life more difficult?
Two such theories serve as a basis for designing experiments to find which one is correct, and serve as a source of intellectual stimulation. Beyond that, there's no practical use for the more complicated theory. Complication is a clue that a mistake may have been made.
High K ceramic capacitors in the signal path may cause measurable distortion. Silver-mica in audio is (in my opinion) an obsolete technology.
My BS detector was set off by mechanical damping of the player pickup mechanism. This produces digital data, and as long as it doesn't make any mistakes nothing can be done to make it better.
I was particularly annoyed by the lack of measurements. There are things you can do to lower noise and distorion, flatten frequency response, and prevent outputs from breaking into oscillation. These improvements can be measured. Instead, we're supposed to trust the author's golden ears. This is not how to advance science.

They sold NT$5 billion of the NT$7.7 billion to another division of themselves. In other words, they didn't sell it, they shuffled paper so they could make a cheery press release.
reverses the meaning of what I presume is your intention, "well heeled conmen".
To address your main point, there are companies (mostly small) that are dominated by evil, such as Oxidental Petroleum which acted to support the Soviet Union during the cold war. But most large companies are not run by obvious scumbags because they would be destroyed by the scumbags running the company into the ground. Adelphia is an example of what happens eventually.
He'd already informed his employer that they were acting illegally and immorally, and they refused to do anything about it. At that point, the employer is identified as psychopathic and there is nothing that should not be expected of the employer.
It takes time to overcome the huge size advantage that Intel has had over AMD. Consider that Toyota has been superior to GM for 40 years, but only now is Toyota coming close to GM in dollar volume.
I've read that the Intel's compiled code specifically tests for the presence of an Intel chip and won't run optimized code on non-Intel chips. This cannot be undone in HLL. An AMD user has to either patch the binary or write in assembly.
"Educators are the most important resource in my country (the USA)."
Coal, iron, and trees are resources. Human beings should consider it an insult to be called a resource. It implies you are the means for someone else's life.
Part of the problem here is that you can vote for "educator's" budgets. Schools should not be part of the government (except military academies like West Point.) When schools are privately owned and operated, the students soon understand that they have the power to prevent widespread abuse by the school.
The Supreme Court has no business deciding ANYTHING but the constitutional question.."
The Constitution says that the Congress determines what the federal courts deal with. In practice, it has come to be that the federal courts, particularly the Supreme Court, deal with federal laws, of which the Constitution is the overriding law, but not the only law.
Comparing "traditional labels" for conservative and liberal is like comparing "three" and "red": they don't refer to differences of the same type of object. Yes, conservatives were originally for stasis, but liberals were originally for a free and just society (without regard to whether such a society would be a change.)
Polaroid once made a B&W film (designed to be color-neg processed) that had three different sensitivity layers. The high-sensitivity layer had an ASA rating of 100 or higher, the low-sensitivity layer had an ASA of about 0.003 (this from memory).
That's 15 bits before taking into account the latitude of the layers.
What's wrong with the efficiency of an icehouse cooler? Acquire huge quantities of ice from a nearby frozen lake in midwinter, put it in your icehouse. Run air over the ice during summer.

"Even in the 20th century handguns haven't really been innovated upon."
Taser. Pepper spray. Laser sights. Rubber bullets. Teflon in bullets.

They did, in the unified physics article.

Boeing is a poor example. Airbus is heavily supported by European governments.

One more issue: the sound field in headphones moves with your head, whereas it should be stable with respect to the screen.
AMD has years of huge losses to make up for. Don't expect them to get a penny less than they can.
Too much: Loads of stuff prized by the self-anointed intellectual elite like James Joyce.
Good stuff: lots of true classics from ancient Rome and Greece.
That's grounds for suspension, not police and criminal charges.

The blame attaches to both parties. Like murder for hire, both the employer and the employee are guilty.

Do you have any idea how much a flawless 8 inch by 10 inch silicon photo sensor would cost?
DuPont was my favorite, but in my tests Agfa had the deepest blacks. Ansco (GAF) had the brightest whites.
What's wrong with the efficiency of an icehouse cooler? Acquire huge quantities of ice from a nearby frozen lake in midwinter, put it in your icehouse. Run air over the ice during summer.
Is that 28 degrees Kelvin, Rankine, or Reaumur?
Some video encoding makes very heavy use of search routines which could be greatly helped by multithreading.
TV manufacturers define the "diagonal inch" as 7 centimeters.
