For the second time, I know that.

However, the result of an experiment is knowledge.  The result of manufacturing is a product.  We don't call manufacturers "experimenters" because it's a different sort of thing they do.  And frankly, I'm not concerned with experimenters producing open hardware.  That's sort of the point of an experiment.  I _am_ concerned with helping manufacturers to produce  open hardware, because they typically don't.  Subtle difference in word meaning?  Yep.  But an important one.
