When people post a picture of their 70-year-old mixmaster to prove that older appliances were made better, and people call "survivorship bias", it doesn't make sense if they're not comparing the actual machines.
If an old appliance features, say, replaceable wearing parts, is oilable, made of good heavy metal, has no electronics to break, has a big enough motor, is engineered to put minimum strain on all wearing parts, and generally does the job well, compared to a given modern appliance, then "survivorship bias" has nothing to do with it.
If you're into Myers-Briggs, this seems to be a case of wrongful use of iNtuitiveness when one should use one's senses :)
