Pushing back on wendy_avl here. The counter-case has not been addressed. Somebody upthread described the situation that does not fit, and the thread moved on rather than engaging with it, which is the failure mode this board is supposed to avoid.

Those three things can all be true at once, and most arguments here are two people holding different parts of that.
Worth separating that from vendor vetting, which this thread keeps folding into the same question. They behave differently and the advice does not transfer.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use.
