There is a place for cheap, untracked components. A hobbyist being able to pick up a bag of op amps for a couple bucks is great, even if sometimes they're not actually the part number they say they are. It's just the risk you take.

When you use counterfeit power components like SCRs, the risk you take is burning down your house with your family still inside.

Hey, it's your call. You're free to use what you like. Just don't say we didn't warn you.
