Certainly true for those who don't understand how to make it work right.

Many things need periodic maintanance to keep them running.  Your car might
not last too long without an oil change.  Use the wrong transmission fluid,
and you are in a world of trouble.

There have been a few interesting threads over on Cocoontech regarding
problems with other systems.  Only a hardwired system can be guaranteed to
be virtually 100% reliable (assuming power is available).  Everything else
is at the mercy of other devices communicating over the same medium.
