it means that IT DOESN'T MATTER. * If it's entirely unused, we get no bugreports -> there is no problem. * If it's used but good quality, we get no bugreports -> there is no problem
we can't distinguish the two. But.. in neither case is there a problem so why force anything? I know some people don't like Heisenberg uncertainty, but... personally for me if the effect is the same I couldn't care less.
