I would agree (and if Neil and Skip were alive, I'm sure they would too) up to a point: as soon as performance suffers in a way that is totally objectionable you're now stunting sales of the product you're trying to push. The CTC-5 Super chassis is a pretty infamous example of taking cost cutting way too far, and unfortunately, RCA didn't really have a large enough base of sets in use when the CTC-5 was rolled out.
This is speculation on my part, but I'm sure that more than a few people saw a CTC-5 in operation, made up their mind that color TV was a dog, and then decided to wait to purchase a set when the technology matured more. The sad part is, mature color TV *was* there. A CTC-4 produces a gorgeous color picture, as does the LB-962 circuit...
