บท 6011: Sunk Costs

Although Alexa Streon had access to plenty of textbooks and articles that told her that it was a bad idea to pile too many modules onto a third-class mech design, she still needed a lot more convincing in order to stop herself from overloading her works.

This was a common bad habit of every first-class mech designer. They studied so hard to design first-class multipurpose mechs that they completely rejected the notion of specialized mechs.

Even if they understood that the latter still had reasons to exist, first-raters such as Alexa considered them to be primitive, outdated and even outright objectively inferior!

It was not their fault that these arrogant and elitist Terrans and so on developed such a strong bias against specialized mechs. They merely assimilated the stances propagated by their teachers and textbooks.
