The bolded part. Many people don't get to the part where they actually know how to use chain correctly. Same thing applies to belts. This applies to many things in competitive robotics, but is particularly pronounced in drive trains due to their overall "mission-critical" importance. A single bad experience for a given method or technique can scare someone off of that for a long time, even if it was an easily correctable user error.
