Does anyone else find it concerning that our new and best technology is so fragile that even the slightest fezz-up in what should be a passive signal-cable can cause our otherwise state of the art equipment to fry itself?

The issue isn't the standard, but that compliance is not regulated by the retailer, the wholesaler, the standards body or the government, which is why consumers are trying to effectively regulate it themselves.
