Worst cables ever... so far for the 'superior' hardware.
Prices are at their fairest the moment they release new hardware. The later you buy their hardware the bigger the difference with their competitors (They only lower the price of older hardware when releasing a new model and not that much either).
But superior hardware, no, that is a bridge too far. Decent hardware, yes, but not all hardware from Apple is equal.
Just trim the length of the ums and nobody notices them anymore. Fund a startup that can do um-filtering (speaking through a microphone) on the fly, problem solved. :)
You are in great company, just watched a couple of videos of Elon Musk and Donald Knuth. They are also expert um'ers but everyone keeps listening because the message they are broadcasting is interesting.
The factor that makes ideas better (or in some cases worse) is thought, which comes with time. Speaking is very engaging at least for some people... (I notice this when I am in the car and talking to someone). It consumes a lot of attention, attention which can not be used to think about the problem.
The same occurs when I have a discussion with someone. When I walk away after the discussion I get a lot of: "Oh, I forgot to say this, oh I forgot to say that", because you start direct your focus on thinking instead of talking.
But I guess talking/thinking is not an "exclusive or" for some people.
