I need to know who’s decision in the product team was to use pure gold, and why everyone agreed to it.
Either it’s really dumb, or some sort of a 5D chess move.

It was just before the world got fucked by our sub prime mortgages, that might have been why, also since everyone was buying property, gold probes might have been relatively low.
