HBTM, failed mag switch redux

You could propose that the cause be described as: "the abrupt onset of cute nsulation eficiency yndrome" or "an unexpected case of (tool) crib death". or "Metally defective"

Also, you can point out that the device in question _is_ "EMR"; that it's condition has deteriorated; and that, based on an evaluation from a specialist, it _is_ necessary to remove it from it's current environment.

(Admittedly, 'EMR' is a very dated term in mental-development classification, but the punning of that term, apropos "electrical, magnetic relay" is just too good to pass up. )

Its _all_ about selecting the choice of alternatives properly.

A true story, from the late '60s:

Thomas A Harris was having a fight with his publisher, over the title of his newly-written pop psychology book. He had the title he _really_ wanted to use, based on the last of the 4 possible states of how "I" regards both himself, and whomever he is reacting with -- whether the regard is "not OK", or "OK".

The publisher was *adamantly* opposed to the proposed title, and eventually =demanded= that Harris come up with a different title, or they would simply _not_ publish the book.

After contemplating the situation for a while, Harris sent in his revised title: "Love in the Fourth Position".

Approximately 2 weeks later, the book went to press, under Harris's *original* title.
