Yes, it could cause some bad blood, thats sort of why it started. Just as it worked in the colonial states with horses, the Brits would bring outlandishedly well breed horses to race the Americians, just so they could beet them, trying to prove a superier prouduct!
The Americians fought this with just making a claim on the price of the horse in the race.
For saws, espicialy work saws, the idea is too perfict, as I wouldent think that John would take offence to using his name. Say Gypo could buy 046's off of ebay throw a few parts in them, do a few mods to them and sell them as work saws, for just as a number, 50 beaver, and said there faster then stock! But I came along and wanted some of that coin, as it's always nice to stack a few dimes, ayh!
We both showed up at a GTG and the race was on, we have our price at 50 beaver pelts, and say he won, yes, I could buy that saw! But if there was a new , new guy, and he just wanted to say that his saws were the fastest, had a cylinder made, had so much time and money invested that there was no way that Gypo's or my saw could compete, our hats off to him,,,,, but he sells the saw, 50 beaver pelts!
