Why would I need to direct anyone to "such a view". The outlets are on the market and readily available for scrutiny by all. It is not our purpose to "prove" anything on the internet since this, and many other threads purpose is merely the continuation of irreconcilable, circular argument--aimed more at promoting linguistic superiority than truth. Anyone examining a 5362 next to the outlet made for us by Hubbel will readily be able to tell the difference. I am also confident that Hubbel will gladly describe the differences if asked.
The "disassembled" term was my fault. I am sure the outlets are plated prior to assembly, but again, you seem to be forming your reply as a means for "argument" or "exposure" rather than simple dialogue. If you are so invested in exposing some perceived untruth and you think we are only gilding a 5362, then by all means, contact Hubbel and post their reply. I in no way had intended to promote or color what is a legitimate, exclusive product. I am merely correcting your statements presented as fact, which are untrue.
If I am contacted regarding someone's misrepresentation of our products in a public forum, I will take the time to correct an opinion stated as fact. I apologize if you took offense to my "ill informed opinion" comments. My reply was not directed at your comments in particular, but more as an observation of the misinformation that is often stated as fact on this and many other forums.
That said, your recommendations of inexpensive outlets are solid, and I am sure most would perform exceedingly well. We refer many customers to the 5362's who might otherwise balk at spending $100.
There is no witchcraft or strong-arming involved here, people can try before they buy from any vendor we work with, so I'm not sure why this is anything more than a moot point. If your point is that great performing outlets can be had for less than a Venom outlet, then I agree whole-heartedly. If you are stating that Shunyata is misrepresenting, lying or "hyping" a product that is exclusive to our company, then I feel it necessary to state specifics.
