[QUOTE="billt, post: 3618050, member: 5188"] This guy goes the long way around the barn to explain this. But his answer makes no sense. At 2:45 in the video he states that, [b]"Companies aren't going to make more money by, "filling those holes in".[/b] That makes no sense, because it takes an extra step in manufacturing to install them in the first place. (drilling / stamping). You can't "fill in" what's already there. By eliminating even a small part of the manufacturing process, it is going to save money. Especially over tens of millions of units, over years of manufacturing. It's an extra, unnecessary step, regardless of how you look at it. He did prove they're not needed. (Nothing in the female plug uses them to achieve greater retention.) So, why are they needed? This guy did do a pretty good job and explaining why they're not needed.
