Well, one could think it as simple as railway track width, that differs in some countiers, or as bolts and screws that are either inch or mm based.
After making desision to use one, changing to other would require massive scrappin of old and replasing all those former bolts and screws that have now become "absolite".
Wasnt that similar thing in the Stak Trek DS9 station, with 3 or 4 different races tech used in it, making things blow up or just malfunction practically 24/7 ?
I know this sounds rather clumsy exsample, but in practical use of different techs, all kinds of problems emerge (PC, anyone... ?)
