I say this because I often use socket wrenches but I've never even *heard* of a blub socket. What is funny is that the same generalizations can be made for SAABs, ie many of the purchasers of new SAAB 9-3's and 9-5's have not clue one as to how they are technically engineered. OTOH it's us guys that buy the 10 year old used cars and lovingly nurse them through their middle (and old) ages that really get to experience the differences.
