Skep·ti·cism [skep-tuh-siz-uh m] - noun: The attitude one should have when hearing from a sales clerk at Sears that the garbage disposer you're about to purchase will be an exact replacement for the 10-year old model you're going to switch out, because you realize that "exact replacement" means that the piping will be offset "only" one-half inch and too short by an equal amount, meaning that you'll either have to buy a 12' length of PVC pipe in order to get a 12" piece, or else use enough plumber's putty to fill the gap.

Also, the attitude one should have when assuring oneself that the above-described solution is actually a good one.

Oh, yeah -- it works, but I'm not sure how robust the connections will be over time.
