Default Marketing and the Cirrus Sales Pitch

Neil Gould writes:

The more I hear this line of reasoning, the more I wonder why a
manufacturer would NOT spin test their aircraft? Surely, the increased
cost of testing would not offset the inuendo that the aircraft can't
recover from a spin?


Assuming that potential buyers ask about it, which they might not.

If I were in a position to spend that kind of money
on a plane, I'd want to know that it could be flown within all normal
parameters, and my opinion is that spin recovery is a normal parameter.


Is the Cirrus line expensive, in comparison to other GA aircraft?
