It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Might be one to think about though. There were a fair number from reputable brands that could be unlocked with a Bic pen.
All of the stolen bikes in my shared garage had someone cut through the lock.
No one is analyzing your lock for what brand it is and carefully attempting to pick it. They're just going to whip out an angle grinder and be done with it. I'm not really in the market for $350 locks either, but it's nice that there are new advancements in lock technology and this seems like it'd be worth it for someone with an expensive ebike.
When these locks were popular thieves would literally go out looking for them because you could unlock them right in front of people without looking sketchy. It wasn't a careful tedious thing, just stick the barrel of the pen into the lock as if it were the key and turn.
Lock picking is very rarely done, but fyi grinders are very rarely used too

Makes sense, really. I'd have to imagine an angle grinder would be pretty loud.
