Firstly cad cam is nontrivial at the tolerance that apple will require.

The problem with the alternate theory is that the manufacturer knows they have a quality issue and are ignoring it or are so incompetent that they can't fix it.

Neither seems likely and I suspect there is a little bit of racism behind the comments in this thread.

Right now the manufacturer will be suffering cost blowouts and possibly contract penalties. I suspect they aren't sitting around going, 'this is the Indian way' with a little head wobble.

But the theory that Indians are lazy and incompetent is a much better story.

You can have problems with the manufacturing process which can take some time to dial in. This type of problem isn't due to a poor quality control, virtually every new plant has this type of problem.

Nuclear is dead because it's not economical.

Even the SMR developers keep raising the expected price and the delivery date keeps slipping.

Last price update was something like $80 whereas solar/wind is around $30 and still dropping.

What they can do is not allow a number to be used without proof of ownership.
