It is pointless to argue about precise definitions with people who don't understand the basics of the technology. If a few REGEN hub chips fail as part of learning experiences it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.
When I was 12 years old my uncle, who was an artist and art professor, was wiring a switch in an extension cord to enable him to turn off his TV without getting out of bed. (No remotes in the 1950's.) Rather than wiring the switch in series with the TV he had wired it in parallel. He showed me the cord. I suggested that it wouldn't work and that it would blow the fuse. He ignored me and plugged the TV into the cord and the cord into the wall. We noticed that the TV played. Then he turned the switch and the TV went off.
"See, it worked." "No it didn't, Uncle Peter. Flick the switch back the other way." The TV remained off. The fuse was blown.
My uncle was a very smart man and learned from his mistake. He studied a lot of books, did a lot of experimentation and eventually got some patents on electronic circuitry.
