I don't have to think of any of those things -- it's not my job! And even
if I did want to consider it, it's all very vague, lacking in any hard data,
and full of presumptions besides. Keep it simple. You either do or do not
want the element in question.
All of these other considerations belong inside the walls of Lego Direct HQ
where they can discuss the matter intelligently with all of the necessary
facts before them.
