* Major Rant! *

So why you and that bearded guy lay it at the feet of "Westerners? "

Because, MachineMan, this present discussion is about how you do not get quality out of China without vigilant Western babysitting. And that means that when the Western babysitters fail to do their job (or simply don't exist), you don't get quality out of China, full stop.

If you're unable to understand that this is not a slam of the work you and your father did, but rather a tribute to its importance and a statement of the need for more people like you and your father, then your reading comprehension is poor. That ain't my problem.
