This is rationalization, not reasoning.  Do you really expect to be
able to take your automobile back to the dealer when a new model

What does the time it takes to perform the modling have to do with
the cost of the part?  It probably costs nearly $7 just to transport
the part to you, if you figure in all the overhead.
