Because that is one way to promote Ada. Perhaps that makes the vendors
review their production technology, who knows. You may also require Ada as a
guarantee that the product quality passes some quality level requirements,
regardless of how excessive the vendor's product testing procedures are. If
you buy a wedding ring you probably want it to be of gold regardless of what
coating and finishing the ring has?
