Those requirements don't eliminate bad programming by someone who's technically a 'pro',
Absolutely true but completely unrelated to the first part of the paragraph.
but it does minimize the complaints going to the manufacturer's support lines.
Absolutely true but unrelated to the fact that some people don't need remote controls so complicated that a skilled third party is required to program them.
That said, URC sure has long wait time.
True but at least introduced with "that said," indicating an acceptance of the fact that this is unrelated to the rest of the ideas.
