Wrong. None of the vendors wants to help you what so ever. What they want to
do is to have you spend your money with them by claiming that they want to
help you.

No. I hate complicated words and complicated concepts. It reminds me NASA
spending 10M to invent a pen that writes in 0 gravity instead of using a
pencil.
