Got an example today, and that is Black Hawk helicopters. There's a tiny knob that pilots need to scroll through for information, and every month, about four of them break. The army could replace [the knobs on Black Hawk helicopters] for about 15 bucks. But because the army does not have right to repair, the whole helicopter goes offline. And. And the contractor charges $47,000 to replace the entire screen. Let that sink in. (00:18–00:22)
