You're absolutely right of course: I meant, but didn't express it so, that we |
| 14 |
have to compensate for lack of adequate QA and poor QC. However, thinking |
| 15 |

| 16 |
processes in place, but implemented with comparatively low acceptance |
| 17 |
thresholds for what we expect. Ahh! The joys of globalisation. :-( |
