Niner hung around as a fly on the wall at Botched HQ during the management meeting, before the recording got taken down under Strafgesetzbuch section 86a.
Enough years in manufacturing, Cost Analysis, BSing Program Managers at Dollar Day meetings every month and every quarter has made my BS Sniffer overly sensitive to such shenanigans.
I've owned enough German Engineering in the past 40 years to recognize traits in the tribe. Sadly, I am 1/2 German, and it is truly genetically programmed into us, like it or not. Deny, deny, deny probably cost Hitler the war, too. That and a little drug problem. In owning German product... my personal observation is that their metallurgy, craftsmenship and quality control is borderline 3rd world nation unless you pay rediculous amounts of money for ground lenses or cameras, which in the digital world, is dated also, just like Kodak.
German product does wonderful things, but it doesn't have great durability or last very long. It's like a Prom Queen, high maintenance, many get sick and tired of having to put up with their sh*t and dump them.
