Trying hard to get out of the corner he's painted himself, Tom Kunich dropped the
following nugget:

There you have it from Kveck - Look makes their own cleats. They don't

Good response. It almost has something to do with what's been said. It's
easy to tell when you've run out of steam - you go into gibberish mode. Nicely
done!
Now you're denying that was your claim?
Apparently I have to drop a Nusbomb here.
In order to reach the conclusion that you were promoting in that thread, your
argument was predicated on:
A) Look not being smart enough to have a CAD file or drawing of their cleats and
the mold needed to make them, as well as having "lost the original cleat model."
B) Look being too cheap to spend the money to properly make a mold for the cleats
because Look is a French company.
C) A completely incorrect concept of how molds for production plastic items like a
cleat are made or function.
You stated the first two as fact, not hypotheticals, when you have no way of
knowing either. The last speaks for itself.
In that thread, I offered several explanations why the cleats weren't the size
that you were used to:
"So if the Look cleats were a bit loose, it would likely be due to molds that were
out of spec, or variations in cleat material that might shrink more than anticipated,
or by design."
And:
"Possibly (as Bill suggested) they were outsourced to a different vendor. Or
perhaps differences in material, heating rates prior to injection or pressure of the
injection (there are a few other variables, but those are the main ones). The ones
with the teflon inserts would be made from a very different mold, however, as putting
the two different materials in the same
finished piece is a two stage process."
When you emphatically state, "There you have it from Kveck - Look makes their own
cleats. They don't sub them out to a North African firm" you are speaking gibberish.
North Africa? Where did that come from? Most bizarre...
How's that for thread drift?
