We live in a world where there is an inherent trust, a feeling that there is some common bond of credibility, honesty, and pride in what we do. THIS MAY BE A DREAM WORLD!

EVERY manifacturer of ANYTHING knows that there are items called quality control, and error rates. The goal of all is to use the first to get rid of the second. Some do it by rigerous premarket design engineering, others do it by pre sale testing. ALL know that the error ratio will NEVER be ZERO.
One sure way to keep production cost down is to reduce errors(bad product), so as many produced items as possible make it to market and are sold.

!!IDEA!! If you ship EVERYTHING no matter the quality, to the bean counters your productivity goes WAY up!(Until the bad product starts to come back.)
!!IDEA 2!! If you refuse to warrant anything, the bad product dissapears off the books.
!!FINAL!! Since your numbers are stellar, YOU GET YOUR BONUS!!!

I think the unlucky Joe that bought the $400 Stage I door stop now knows what "AS IS" and "WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER" MEANS.
