There is a point though and it is quite basic, that some bike companies have been selling poorly manufactured frames and parts, then increasing the acceptable tolerance to avoid liability for these. That is a systematic fraud on consumers.
A carbon frame made for $300 and sold for $1000-3000 and more shouldn't be so poorly made and if it is it should be accepted as defective and replaced, not covered up and avoided.
