      perhaps you could read the article, but the jist is that in this economic system the good product was so good that people bought it and then sales dried as nobody needed another, rendernng the company bankrupt.

      In your opinion, how does the concept of projecting fit here? Just that one word could be re-applied reciprocally in a completely different context?

        The business folks are projecting on the customers. If the customers have a product that lasts them forever, then this is a success.

        Edit: it doesn’t matter what happens to the company. The only thing that matters is if the customers were happy. If you focus on the things that matter, this was a triumph. A huge success.

      I, for one, did not love it. Horrible UI. Difficult to clean. Hot plastics steaming plasticizers into the air and food. 👎

        I don’t get how plastics can reach the food. Didn’t yours have a stainless steel innerpot with a metal cover on the food side?
