"Because you/we can!" Just like the opening to the Six Million Dollar Man: we have the resources, we have the technology, we can Improve Things! Make them Better! Stronger, Faster! Longer! Solid Steel Chip Shields milled from Billets Cast By Bronzed American Working men in Pittsburgh, supported (the chip shields, that is) by Uprights fabricated from the Drive Shafts of Late Model DeSotos!
Because we can!
Bwhahahahahahaha.
