" The superiority of reward is not here the consequence of competition, but of its absence: not a compensation for disadvantages inherent in the employment, but an extra advantage ; a kind of monopoly price, the effect not of a legal, but of what has been termed a natural monopoly ... independently of ... artificial monopolies grants by government, there is a natural monopoly in favour of skilled labourers against the unskilled, which makes the difference of reward exceed, sometimes in a manifold proportion, what is sufficient merely to equalize their advantages.

* Mechanical steel spring suspension systems that try to replicate only some of the inherent advantages of hydropneumatic suspension ( electronically adjustable shock absorbers ) end up being lesser solutions and more complex to build and maintain than the straightforward hydropneumatic layout.

Each area comprises specialized platforms and strategies used to exploit tactical advantages unique and inherent to that area.

Proponents believe that it has all the advantages of a tubular tire made to fit a clincher rim, but critics argue that the design includes disadvantages inherent to both systems --- the rim weight is still high, the tire is more expensive than a standard clincher tire, and repairing a puncture on a tubular clincher is as inconvenient as it is with a standard tubular tire.

These advantages are offset, to a greater or lesser extent in any given design, by the extra weight and drag of the structural bracing, and the aerodynamic inefficiency inherent in the stacked wing layout.
