Why so critical of "universal" flex radiator hoses?

Kindof like yogapants. You either love 'em or hate 'em depending on what's in 'em.

My wires are blue. Jacobs. I needed wires, I bought their hype. They're 18 this year.

Yea, I'm generally guided more by personal preference and function rather than hype, and I like the yellow wires.
In fact stuff that is functionally simple then overly hyped raises suspicion in my book.
(like lit glass hoses):D
