[Frank Bulk]

Another example: vendors who sell new equipment and highlight the unit's
phenomenal backplane...but none of their linecards can be configured in any
kind of way even use it.

But they all do that.

What is more confusing is when vendors use half-duplex 
bandwidth to make a line card seem faster, e.g., a 30Gbps 
line card is sold as a 60Gbps if traffic flows in only one 
direction.
