[Rockhounds] Ice question ?

Axel said >. Oh well, that 's how I would make such a sight.

Ah but there are 3 schools of engineering

The Russian School: Comrade we need 1 Mcg if tritium, so lets put 1 Mg, that
way it will for sure work... maybe  Health effects what is that...

The German School: Get a team of engineers to determine that the sight needs
to work for 20 years to meet customer expectation. They then calculate the
exact amount of Tritium needed and build a sight with that plus a small
safety margin.

The American School of thought: Get a bunch of marketers together to figure
out how short a warranty they can put on the sight and get away with it
working enough so the sight won't comeback during the warranty period, but
will fail 1 week later so that the client will need to buy another.

And now we have a 4th school
The Chinese school: Doesn't matter what the contract says, build the sight
with Melamine instead of Tritium and laugh if you try to return it because
it doesn't work

With tongue firmly in cheek
