Are Benchmarks and Diagnostics in Pack Research Dead?
It's The Looks Stupid While inner values often take precedence over physical appearance—especially in the long run—it’s not a question of either-or. Both are crucial, and their interplay determines lasting success. What holds true for human relationships applies equally to products.
