How hard is it to to copy a [expletive] schematic?

Edit: I'm serious. What convinced them to implement a design different from the example in the spec that simply does not work (hello, testing?)?

The USB-C spec is 300 pages with multiple errata and revisions. It's not just one schematic.

FTA: Benson Leung seems to think they should have copied figured 4-9 -- https://medium.com/@leung.benson/how-to-design-a-proper-usb-...

I don't think a long and imperfect specification is a good excuse for getting this one wrong -- since this specific part of the spec is a MUST and accurate.

Yes, forget due diligence. It's too much work.
