   Plumbing. Shutoffs. Inside the house. Even outside actually. Under sink.   
      
   Toilet. Why on earth are they rotate kind. When have you ever in your 100   
   years life ever regulated the flow from the shutoff? It's either on or off.   
      
   It's binary. Right? So why do they all NOT have quarter-turn ball valves?   
      
   Nobody in the history of indoor plumbing has ever said, 'Let me precisely   
   throttle my toilet fill valve using this crusty little multi-turn shutoff'.   
      
   So why are they ubiquitous?
