Right up there with the democracy and freedom index as numbers you attached to your opinion and present like facts.

A repairability index is about as objective as can get: a list a components and their modes of failure along with a checklist of:

* what can be repaired by the owner using spare parts, instructions and common tools

* what can be repaired by an independend third party

* what must be repaired by the manufacturer

* when must something be junked and how much of it can be recycled

These are not "opinions". At some point we need to start calling out the criminal indifference of vested interests (and their shills) to the sustainability question
