You ignore my final statement: If a one-hand, positive-lock mechanism can be designed at the same weight as existing QR levers WHY NOT?
I suggest that you teach your daughter how to close QRs properly and easily. My six year old neighbor has no problems, after I showed him how.
No reason WHY NOT, but it seems to be a 'storm in a teacup'. Used correctly (as with most things in life), a QR is safe, reliable and appropriate technology.
Perhaps America could consider incorrect use of a QR as 'Darwin in action'.
