Ach, this reminds me of the good old "just doing my job" argument heard around the concentration campfires.

The spelling of that chemical alone will prevent its success.
If 'xylitol' is hard for English speakers, it should be doubly so in Finland. We did extensive clinical research on its use against dental caries in the 1970s, and now everyone and, well, not their dog, has been using it in forms like chewing gum for a couple of decades.
However, we are notoriously bad at pronouncing foreign words. For instance, initial 'str' in words like 'strategy' ('strategia' in Finnish) is often reduced to just 'r', at least when spoken by older people with less foreign exposure. This just reflects the lack of such combinations in our native language.
It sure is a funny coincidence that television viewers generally have line of sight to the set.
Huh. Growing up, were you one of those kids that never actually played with the remote?
Well of course I'm familiar with the back wall bounce. It probably won't work across too many reflections in weird angles. In fact, it seems that newer remotes have narrower working angles to avoid conflicts with the bazillion other receivers. The point is that light works for remotes for obvious reasons, it's really the bug that turns out a feature. It's also well known physics that higher frequencies are more easily restricted by obstacles.
nothing revolutionary. irda is (was) a thing.

Yeah, that's why television remote controls are always so fussy.
It sure is a funny coincidence that television viewers generally have line of sight to the set. OTOH, you also have these computer users that store every file on their "desktop", because it doesn't exist if you can't see it, so that demographic might also benefit from the existing line of sight to teh internets.
Stop calling these things "gumstick".... you're a piece of shit for trying to make that term stick.
I see what you did there. In fact, I'm having a hard time removing that thought from under my desk.
