I do agree with your first statement. The last part of the second one, not so much maybe. At least as far as the production part of the business, anyway. Some vehicle problems could be blamed on assembly line workers I have to admit, but there were inspectors that could have, should have and mostly did catch those. There were also antiquated machinery, processes and methods that made it very difficult to build a decent vehicle in years past. There were cases when the inspectors were told to ignore certain types of problems if it meant slowing or stopping production.
