Assertion Not checkable as stated
Marolf: On Running delayed marathon shoes by seeking engineering perfection
“We tried really hard to be probably overly precise in the product that we do, and that means that engineering is slightly slower, and you should leave a bit more to the consumer or the runner in that case to make up their minds. We're striving for perfection, …”
