This is a logical fallacy, that fails to acknowledge the rest of the
possibilities that exist:
* There's a problem with the hardware parts in question.
* The hardware vendor is keeping information 'hidden' behind
restrictive licenses that FreeBSD developers don't have access to.
and so forth... The world isn't black and white only.
