Hi Allen,
I do share your overall opinion. As I've said many times before I think there are too many holds given where novotes would be more appropriate, and similarly I think that sometimes a quest for perfection (even given Needs Work) should never be considered more important than a quest for decent, functional parts.
But I have to note that parts like the visor represent the exception rather than the rule. Even given my tantrum. The ones that go through smoothly show up more rarely on the radar since they usually shine for a few days, and then vanish from recent activity, certified and awaiting release.
