And, working on the idea that the cheapest electric toaster would also be the simplest to reverse-engineer, I went and bought the cheapest toaster I could find, took it home and was kind of dismayed to discover that, inside this object, which I'd bought for just 3.49 pounds, there were 400 different bits made out of a hundred-plus different materials.
Lähtien siitä ideasta, että halvimman leivänpaahtimen toiminta olisi myös yksinkertaisin selvittää, menin ja ostin halvimman paahtimen, vein sen kotiin, ja olin tyrmistynyt tajutessani, että tämän tavaran sisällä, jonka ostin vain 3,94 punnalla, on 400 eri osaa, jotka on tehty yli sadasta eri materiaalista.
