Right on the head of r´the nail! =)
I'm facing a similar thing in my arguments on a case (I do know the Function from before, but it will do a good argument).
I'll show this video to the management and see IF they understand what iäm trying to say to them! =)
Thanx.

If building to print isn't good enough, the design and tolerances suck.
