Steve,

Unfortunately, that's not the problem. The problem is that it is extremely easy 
to bend pins, or to push them back through their holes in the connector shell, 
by trying to insert the cable into the wrong connector, or by trying to insert 
it in the right connector, but in the wrong orientation.

Basically, the connectors are somewhat fragile, especially after years of 
connecting and disconnecting them repeatedly. They are also a royal pain in the 
neck to repair or replace, due to the huge number of pins in a very confined 
space. So, we're trying to "baby" them, to avoid needing repair or replacement 
for as long as possible.

Cheers,

Rick Dickinson
