PASSAGE
New appliance labels proposed by a consumer agency would display an estimated product lifespan and a repairability score. Manufacturers argue that the labels would help buyers compare products and reward durable design. Independent repair technicians support the proposal but warn that a favorable score could mislead consumers if replacement parts, service manuals, or diagnostic software remain unavailable. A consumer survey found that buyers valued durability, yet many still replaced appliances when a battery or control panel cost nearly half as much as a new product. The article's author endorses clearer labels but argues that disclosure is only one element of meaningful repair access. Without reasonably priced parts and usable instructions, the author writes, consumers may know that a product should be repairable while remaining unable to repair it.
Which evidence best supports the interpretation that the author distinguishes being informed about repairability from having a practical ability to obtain repairs?
