It is pretty tough to change a standard without overwhelming proof that a newer standard would have significant benefits...

I rarely see any burning on 50amp sets and I have always attributed it to the much more robust contact and locking mechanism. I think the 30a plug/receptacle design is flawed regardless of the manufacturer...but how do you change a "standard"??

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
