Amazon is in a totally different league than the ITMS.
I can't really get into this. All I can say is that the point you're making is flawed, because you're making some assumptions that are way off.
Some days you just have to get out the baling wire and duct tape and your spiritual tome of choice. It's like in Das Boot, when they have to dive deeper than their submarine is rated to go to get away from the other sub, and they're all real quiet and looking sideways at each other, knowing that at any moment the rivets may pop out, sending them all to the bottom of the sea to be humansushi for the giant squids.
