Another thread using the magic word "SMART", which immediately produces large amounts of predictable nonsense and very few actual facts. And, the next thing you "know" from these responses is that these "evil" new DMU's are already "falling apart".....? That "evil" SMART!

Once again, a poor quality news story, with some questionable assertions, and a dubious spin on "SMART", and magically, this story produces a whole lot of questionable assertions, dubious information, and related bs, by the bucket full, without much, if any, reliable sourcing..... That "evil" SMART is up to no good, once more.....
