You inadvertently illustrate the exact problem that Morita had with the USA
factory. The Americans didn't care about striving for perfection; all they
cared about was staying inside whatever tolerances were defined.

The Americans were smart enough to know you don't get paid for the extra
cost to deliver something that is "better" than what the PO says.

The Americans lacked pride in workmanship and strong professional ethics.
Apparently all they cared about was money.
