Oh, brother, you should have been sitting around in industry sales meetings in the '80s and '90s while reps argued about the wording of those stickers. I watched two guys nearly come to blows over the choice of "tube" versus "tubing."
"If we say 'tubing' then most people wont know or care if it's only one tube that's CroMo."
"We need to be honest if we're only using one tube that's CroMo."
"I need to sell more bikes and I need that 'tubing' sticker."
Etc., etc. This happened more than once.
