If you want an example of a sacrifice caused by regulation before technology had fully caught up, banning sperm whale oil in automatic car transmissions comes to mind: https://www.nytimes.com/1975/04/17/archives/transmission-pro...

Or phosphates in dish detergents. Some will remember when our dishwashers stopped working well for a few years.

Various consumer review sites were regularly doing pieces on newer detergents that maybe-kinda work.

We didn’t have an answer when the bans swept the country. It took a while for things to catch up. Then it was fine again.

My mobile browser gave up it was so bad. Shame, it seemed like it could have been an interesting read.

Not digging the desired outcome but yes the watercolors are great addition to an interesting technical article.

Curious why the CLI function is `mvd` instead of `mdv`?
