My guess is that the components are being made slightly better than before, 
but are probably more sensitive to small amounts of wear... going from 8 
speed to 10 speed would be an example of that -  ie the cable movement 
probably hasn't changed since 8 speed but they're 10/8 (squared?) times more 
sensitive to misadjustment.
