"UL said "no more cloth wire" (presumably because it's a "fire hazard"...), Fender switched over, discovered that they would now have to reroute the circuits to prevent shorts (and probably fires...), and their nice, oscillation-free layout went straight to hell. So, to "fix" the problem, they had to add all those parasitic-supressing caps we all know and hate...."
Ha ha ha...  
I guess you got all that by reading Whites book?  
I'd venture a guess that the cloth wire started costing more and it was a $$ driven choice.
