I completely agree with you, but I’ll add that problem when life gets in the way, and your typewriter (now in pieces) sits there shaming you for leaving it in such a disappointing state.

The typewriter may live the long game, but it doesn’t understand the long game and what it will become.
(Yes, I see you 1941 Royal Arrow, and I do love you and assure you it will all work out in the end).
