Confucius says, Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself.
then answer this,
"How was this any different than batch #1 of Avalon?"
I'm not imposing anything. A demonstration will come by a customer very soon, if you wish to wait until then, go ahead; but you then run into the risk of not making into batch #2, and where if I don't open orders now, I run into the issue not able to order parts before CNY, which has a pretty long lead time.
Proverbs 16:18
Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
This has nothing to do with pride.
