This is exactly what I'm talking about. I call it an engineering problem, though, not a marketing problem. As an engineer, I feel that I have to make my product safe because it's the right thing to do, not because people will not want to buy it.

From the clothes we wear, food we eat, shampoo we use to clean our hairs, it's all about marketing. Gone are the days people just try to supply us with our needs.
I agree with you completely. MBA graduates are offered much more money than engineers who go on to develop products for them to market. I call it the Amway legacy and I want my underpants back!
