You've missed the main point I was trying to make...

You, nor me, nor anyone of the other 36000+ backers BOUGHT anything... That's why they're called rewards....  

it equates to this:

"For your investment of at least $X, we will send you a SOMETHING of your choice from this list of SOMETHINGS.  For what ever TIER you invest at, you may choose a REWARD from that tier or a lower rewards tier."

I INVESTED $29 in the project.  As a reward for my backing, I got a Pine A64+ (2GB) board.

You are right, of course, I did miss your point; and of course you are right in some respect. Some people clearly do not understand what KS is and its function. But I still believe my argument stands. People don't know what they are really backing - and that is on them. I know next to nothing about, say, 3D printers - and I would not back a 3D printer just because it would be advertised as revolutionary, better than commercially available products or whatever. I would have done research.

[edit] As a side note - I feel that the Pine64 has not only lived up, but also exceeded my expectations, and I do not understand why people wish to return it ...
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter
