traddies are too chicken to ever fall, so how are these gadgets gonna be real world tested?

what do they do, hang 25 of em from some dudes swami, let him get up at 11 AM, pull on his painter paints and high top boreals, grow a beard and lose his stones, and then walk thru the woods for an hour with the gear clanging against the hexes? only to get to the base of some sick 5.6 and re-rack for an hour before getting in one pitch before dark...

that is the only way I can imagine a trad climber even beginning to test out the product.

i'm starting to believe this. just look at all the used trad gear on ebay. 9x outta 10 the item description reads, " NEVER FALLLEN ON!!!". were it the item description for some gear4rocks cams, i'd understand, but it's not.
