That is clearer and more believable. I'm going by the language on the page I shared. (Yes I'm aware your quote is from the same page).

"All the electronics of the Liberty Phone is made in our USA facility" tells me that they are manufacturing all the components at the same facility, which beggars belief.

What your parent quoted comes from the page you shared.

I don't know how to communicate more clearly that there is a contradiction in their claims on the same page.

The phone (its PCB, PCBA and assembly) is made at the USA facility, in contrast to the regular Librem 5 which is made in China. It uses some components that come from outside of the US.

"All the electronics of the Liberty Phone are made in our USA facility, and the entire phone is assembled at that same facility, using the same manufacturing process we used for the Librem 5 devkits in 2018 and Librem Key that has the Made in the USA label started in 2019."

"All the electronics of the Liberty Phone are made in our USA facility"

"All the electronics"

Edit: newlines

Electronics refers to circuit board assembly not discrete electrical components. I doubt you think their diodes or capacitors are US made

I would wager a significant amount of money that the vast majority of people who read "ALL ELECTRONICS" are going to believe that discrete electrical components are considered part of the category "ALL ELECTRONICS".

If unlimited doesn't mean unlimited, maybe all doesn't really mean all anymore either.

FWIW I understood your communication and I agree it is contradictory:)
