I expect that the point that amazing was trying to get across is that 
many people will buy the cheapest CD-R's that probably have a burn 
rating of 1x or 2x then expect them to burn right in their super-fast 
40x burn speed CR-R burner.  If they are burnt more slowly (i.e., at the 
right speed for the media) then there will be less install problems.
