More like the engineers said "hey, we designed this filter to use metal endcaps which means it will cost XX amount to manufacture this filter", and then the financial department said "thats too much money, find a way to make the filter cheaper", and the engineers said "well, we could try using cardboard for the endcaps but.. ", "good. done. sell it." said the financial department.quote:
