* Major Rant! *
Much of what Western companies do in the way of "quality control" is a pathetic joke of one kind or another.
My Father worked for Lockheed Aircraft for 46 years as a
Quality Assurance Officer.
I myself worked as the Quality Assurance Manager of Amcor Industries, maker of safety related fasteners for the automotive industry.
(Any fastener that by it's failure could cause injury or loss of life to the operator)
All under the specifications of PQS 15-200
Dimensional, Destructive, and Non-Destructive Testing.
Right the way down to Salt Spray Test
I take what you said, "As a personal insult" to both my Father & myself.
Maybe you would like to re-phrase the above quote.
