Sadly a realistic representation of the average
consumer. Why bother expending time and effort to
learn a skill/craft when you can do a passable bodge in
a fraction of the time. Few people have the patience
or the inclination to bother. What happens when no one
can recall what zones are? Who's going to write the
software then?
