I love the posters who think they can win an argument by calling someone crazy. You guys have it figured out - I have been lying all along about my MSD failures in order to cover up my involvement in the Kennedy/Oswald matter.
Now for the adults on this BB....
In a sense, MSD might well be the best aftermarket ignition by default - but that doesn't hold them above criticism.
If we use reliability as a main criteria, then just about any OEM offers a better product. I have never seen a contemporary GM, Ford or Mopar ignition fail to produce spark. True, they won't spin to 10,000RPM but that ability doesn't mean much of you can't get to the first 1,000RPM.
I'll also bet the ignition provided by a Motronics or FAST box is far better.
The truth is the automotive world begs cheapness. When you are selling a box for $500 you won't be able use the best of anything in it. If heavy industry used ignition boxes you'd see $15,000 boxes that never, ever failed.
At the risk of being imature,we have over 500 units of specialized equipment for construction,mining and tunneling with ECUs that have vary sophisticated functions and have to work in unbelivable conditions.On some $15,000 wouldn't cover the cost of a technician to come from Germany or Sweden to trouble shoot them let alone replace them.I would file it under shtz happens,as nothing is guaranteed to be perfect and last a lifetime.I'am in the "heavy industry" and know the cost of flying in emergency parts and it pales in compariason to "down time" cost. 
Sorry you don't like our light hearted humor.
