why is it that tasmanians get bagged out for being slow, but then get told off for talking to fast?

yeah ive been wondering this as ive heaps kicking around, i would have thought the 3 sided stuff would be ok on a zook or something without massive grunt, or theres 6 sided stuff we use on our power harrow which takes 130hp and it chews stones for a living, so id reckon it would be strong enough, i know the stresses are different like a spinning wheel which then hits the ground and grips rather than just running at 540rpm all day but still
just thinking out loud

no i use stock hilux slip joints and have neva dropped one out
the rear uses around an inch the hole way through travel to full droop
link suspensions use hardly anything if setup well
