I don't agree with that logic at all. I love my Pioneer 111L but I accept it's limitations. It is unreliable as a scanner just like virtually every NEC chip based drive you can dig up. Just because some drives support the functionality and others don't cannot in itself render the whole function meaningless.
I compare reliable disc scanning only on LITEON or BENQ drives to someone who has a serious illness but refuses to accept their doctor's diagnosis, they go get other doctor's opinion until they get the diagnosis they want to hear.
