I've heard many an engineer's tale where a quality capacitor was
specified and necessary and purchasing bought something a great deal
cheaper. Sometimes wasting months of engineering time waiting for the
quality capacitor to be made, once management convinced purchasing that
the expensive capacitor couldn't be replaced by a 29 cent part.
