Hehehehehehe.

I know I know.  I said that because the last time I mentioned the
tinfoil had we were asked to rename the thread to [OT] ;)

But I love it!  I'm wearing one right now!  =)

You're just viewing this from a glass half empty perspective ;-)

Think about it, suppose all the manufacturers start shorting the 
material required to create a proper resistance. While those 
manufacturers make an incrementally small extra sum of money due to 
less material getting used, the rest of us run equipment hotter than 
usual, because less resistance is more wattage. More heat, and you know 
about global warming....
You should be thinking, glass half full and be glad we have concerned 
citizens looking out for society.  ;-)
