 What we need is a "Don't nag me, woman!" index, to calculate the probability that a woman will only own top-of-the-line items and they will always be in good repair.

Does he have an ancient, broken version in the basement, a garage, or up on blocks in the yard? --> 0 probability
Can he easily and cheaply buy something used and fix it? --> 5% probability
Is it something he is an expert in and he's always wanted to try it out at home? --> 10%
Is he generally very handy, curious, and likes fiddling with stuff? --> 15%
Is he a lawyer, an accountant, or a children's book author? --> 100%
