System designers are advised against using pulldown resistors, as these can bring a host of problems to the user. Low resistor values also should not be shunned, even in CMOS circuits, since resistor value does not affect static pullups. Designers are also advised to design prototypes that can be easily debugged to allow for troubleshooting. These can always be modified during the production process.
When I was a young technician, my associates and I arrogantly believed we could build anything with enough 10k resistors and duct tape. Now it seems that even simple electronic toys use several m...
