Agree 100%.
I have actually heard that most feedback is gathered from the dealers (applies to YAMAHA specifically, but probably true for others),
who have their little clans during those input meetings. Now I heard this from a person who is a yamaha dealer in Europe and he said that most of his ideas were simply ignored. His guess is because he did not belong to any of those "clans" mentioned.
