  • I’m not going to give serious time to non-serious questions. You’re going to have to at least show you tried to think of how this could be manipulative. If you’re going to consider yourself a rational thinker, then you’re also going to have to agree that more context should be there regardless of whether it changes the message. Any time there is a hint of manipulation (such as trimming down to sound-bites), you should push back.

















  • It’s probably not for shipping of the final product at all. Cords for a product are going to be purchased in-bulk. There will be thousands of these cords with sharp and semi-fragile ends all packed together and then handled throughout the product build. This cap both protects the prongs from shipping/handling/assembly processes and protects equipment/handlers while products are being assembled. There’s no good reason to remove the cap after assembly, so it stays on the final product to the consumer.
