Having worked on said assembly lines, the $5 an hour people they get to package stuff often don't give a crap. (many were just checking constantly for 420 time or couldn't even read!)

I have purchased products that were defective and went back and exchanged them only to find another defective product because they both rolled down the line one right after the other and the warehouse shipped them out to dealers just as they came off the assembly line and didn't mix them up. It's seems uncanny but I bet others have experienced this phenomenon too ! Armand
