Oranges Computers and Big Ten University contracted in writing for Oranges to provide Big Iron, a mainframe computer using a new technology that was then under development but not perfected, at a price substantially lower than that of a similar mainframe using current technology. The contract’s delivery term was F.O.B. Big Ten University, on or before June 30. Oranges tendered Big Iron to Big Ten University on July 15, and Big Ten University rejected it because of the delay. If Oranges sues Big Ten University for breach of contract, which of the following facts, if proved, will best support a recovery by Oranges?
