Yes, "boo" to using words that play with peoples emotions, and "yay" to not ever doing that sort of thing.

  "That’s technical speak for, it’s rock solid, it’s 
   totally accurate. You probably could build a sail 
   using that stuff." - Georg Petschnigg, CEO of FiftyThree
Can anyone explain that quote? I don't understand the "build[ing] a sail" part. I've never heard that before.

Is building a sail some kind of delicate, nuanced process? I guess it relates back to pressure somehow?
