It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Sounds like old tech with high tech control.

This is very similar to why Honda Accord engines from 20 years ago can be tuned and turboed to make 5 times the power they did when new. Control and feedback sensing is super important, and computers are finally cheap and powerful enough (when built reliably and redundantly) to do it.
