Surely one frame isn't a broad enough sample size for his pretty harsh comments?

Correct, and the cycling industry doesn't have as tight a tolerance as the motoring let alone aerospace industry; they simply do not have the budget.

Customers send him their worst frames, that's about it.

I tried to ask him to put closed captioning but he says it's too much work and someone should do it for him.

I think it's more likely the economics of bikes.

Nice Bike = £
Nice Car = £20 x Nice Bike
Nice plane = £200 x Nice Car

Also. BBs are like £25-£45. Even if you need to replace one every year. (even at a very reasonable £25 for LBS installation). So what? Bikes are consumables. Most of the cost of parts is operating costs for the mfg and the distribution chain.

To be honest some of his findings were quite shocking, completely undersized or oval bottombrackets, that's not how pressfit works and it should be checked before they sell a frame. If its too hard or expensive to properly make it than they should stick to threaded bb's or so
