No, they weren't. They were direct (identical) replacements for KOP items when they were originally obtained, and therefore subject to KOP quantity limits when used in years for which they were included in the KOP. They are not KOP items now. And they have not become COTS items, either.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
