As a consumer of goods, I care quite a bit about many of the “hows” of those goods just as much as the “whats”.

My home, which I own, for example, is very much a “what” that keeps me warm and dry. But the “how” of it was constructed is the difference between (1) me cursing the amateur and careless decision making of builders and (2) quietly sipping a cocktail on the beach, free of a care in the world.

“How” doesn’t matter until it matters, like when you put too much weight onto that piece of particle board IKEA furniture.
