I wouldn't say that these are the costs of tantalum caps. This is rather
part of the cost of judging "things" only by their (monetary) price. I
don't think that there's a way around this: either we start including what
we value into the price, or we start acknowledging that the price (i.e.
/all/ monetary figures) doesn't reflect what we value. Which has more
consequences than one might think at first look.
