Can I borrow your time machine? You seem to be transmitting from the past. -

You have to admit that it can kick the shit out of a flat carpet. -

I really think 42070 gets beat up way more than it deserves. Yeah, that irritates me as well. I think TLG were a bit too concerned about infringing certain design copyrights and made a set that couldn't possibly do that; however, the end result just looks wrong. -
Can you blame him? He gave even the slightest bit of criticism and got shelled into the ground, with people calling him toxic. He pointed out the Zetros' fatal flaw and people accused him of bashing TLG. And, to top it off, a good number of his amazing MOCs got shafted to a forum barely anybody frequents.

That's because it's little more than a hastily-conceived techno-gimmick designed by TLG to horn in on screen time. And surprise surprise, it's... well, Erik, you've described it brilliantly. Look at VIDIYO, TLG's biggest flop in recent memory. That theme already has an entry on TvTropes' "We're Still Relevant, Dammit!" page.

I mentioned knob wheels earlier, so I'll clarify the set that has the worst use of them - 9395. They should be the last choice of part for an input shaft, and they make 9395's whopping two functions (bear in mind this thing was 2012's 1H flagship) unpleasant to operate. And then there's the setup in the B-model... shudder. -

Nope, knob wheels are usually the most aggravating detail on any Technic set, period.
