By the same logic we've been trusting our lives to things stamped out of sheet metal
That's not the same logic. Stamping is a sound process, spot welding is a sound process, seam-welding tube is a sound process. It's only by combining all of the processes in one sound design that we arrive at a tester approved chain whip. You could build the Park shape in a seamless way and if it had the same ergonomics it would still get my approval, it would just be even more expensive. I can think of at least half a dozen ways to make a chain whip with the same ergonomics and functionality, so the best solution will be the cheapest and I think Park have probably got pretty close to it.

By the same logic we've been trusting our lives to things stamped out of sheet metal, so might as well get a £5 one? ;)
Meh, i remember when "tester approved" meant something! You're slipping man.
