That this admiration might be an indication that people think this person, Tullio Campagnolo in this case, was actually a diety, or even God!
Actually the problem might be more accurately described as thinking maybe the people that had this admiration for Tullio Campagnolo, his company and his parts, might not be aware of some faults with the parts. Oh, and the need to constantly point out these well known faults, over, and over, and over...
Let me just state that I personally love Campagnolo parts, but I don't worship Campagnolo parts.
In fact I love almost all parts; I've got a house full of bikes to prove it. (I don't have much love for the parts that are copies of Campagnolo's parts however.)
