I mean the point the article makes - black plastic has different characteristics to brown and beige plastics, so they need to be developed separately - seems reasonable on the surface, but that doesn't explain why they do the "novelty" colours first. Especially from the way it's worded, it sound like they might have to redo the moulds going brown -> black but potentially not the other way round. So overall, it just seems like the whole article is just PR spin.
