I humbly reserve the right to "miss" points horribly misstated. I know you were't COMPARING design; I was stating you OVERLOOKED design - as if you had been stating that manufacturing standards are solely responsible for the quality of a product.

You attribute crash test performance to manufacturing, with no mention of design having an impact. BOTH have an impact. My point. Which YOU obviously missed entirely.
Perhaps rather than say "particular examples you cited" I should have said "particular statements you made."

I am truly sorry that my agreement with your point did not meet your standards. You strike me as someone with whom agreement may be no sign of honor. I shall not do so again.
