Well, you kind of did, to tell the truth. :)

Which is fair enough, although pretty much stating the obvious. I thought
your original statement was trying to make a more interesting point about
buying an engine in a much wider set of circumstances. For example, I know
several people who believe that it is always better to buy a good engine,
even in circumstances where many other people believe developing an engine
is a better idea. I thought you were going down this path, and I have to say
I'm disappointed because I would have been interested to see what people
thought about this.
