I find it hilarious when people say something is "military grade" or the "military uses it" like thats some kind of proof it's a good idea. Haven't spent much time working for the gov't, have you?
I wasn't saying it was proof that it's a good idea. I was saying that hobby rocketry had no say in the design. CTI made it that way for someone with deeper pockets and much larger orders. IF the military contract decides to change the design, I'd bet that the hobby ones would (strangely enough) follow suit. And yes, I've worked for the gov't and have seen exactly what you're implying.
