Reminds me of some safety glasses purchased where I worked. It has a list of 'features' on the box. The first one touted Non-Scratch resistant lens. It was the truth too. You couldn't even put those in your cotton shirt pocket without scratching the lenses.

This place was considered a big step up toward classiness from the strip club, sex toy shop and pornography emporium that used to inhabit the complex...

This question is kinda OnTopic:
Why don't such venting/leaking capacitors plague the whole automotive (electronics) industry, which all operate in much more extreme environments?
I have never heard some gear/petrol-head saying "I gotta go and recap my [...ummmm] my fuel injection system".

Thoughtful of them to write the App Note onto the component itself…
