This is actually a serious point, not a joke.
New services may be launched with provisional technology to establish or evaluate a market or pricing model. The underlying technology in the initial implementation may have different performance or availability characteristics to what's actually envisioned for the full-scale product, and care has to be taken to actually compensate for this - i.e. introducing synthetic delay/jitter/faults to avoid setting the wrong expectation for the product.
