Your analogy is nonsensical. Additionally, Blu-ray has proven in many ways that it is currently NOT the better format, with disc space being the only real advantage it offers. Of course, as far as movies are concerned, studio support will ultimately be the deciding factor.

The data layer of Blu-ray discs is so fragile that they require additional protective coating. I would hardly call that an added benefit, it's just more BDA spin. This also creates problems with costing, as the manufacturing yields of Blu-ray discs are reportedly problematic.

 That's some nice spin there yourself. That hard coating makes Blu-ray Discs much harder to scratch and damage than HD-DVDs, DVDs and CDs. That's a good thing. Period.
