We should spare no expense til everyone is above average and everyone has above average education and income.
No, things should be made correctly so the users...customers who paid for it...don’t have to screw around cause the product they bought was rushed to market or made improperly.
That’s a contradiction in terms — however a change in world view could lead to quality that really IS better than what we have now.
Quality control systems are, to my observation, famous for being reverenced, infamous for not being used nearly as much as they could be. Based on a zen (or as I would personally put it, a gospel) of continual improvement, with very little emphasis on “individual fault” issues, they have been very successful where the commitment to them exists. Quality control was invented in Japan and re-evangelized in postwar Japan by Deming. The relatively egoless Japanese’ products went from junk to marvelous.
I laugh! I agree with your sentiments and sadly, it seems a great number of people agree with us. I laugh!
