P'raps. A good low-tech alternative would be to put the height visible

Evidently it's not utterly reliable.


By "utterly reliable", I mean "it won't break". The technology didn't, it
seems, break. It worked.

The failure lay in the one part of the system that can't easily be
upgraded, redesigned or replaced - the wetware.


PEBSWADS, I think.
