    Well said, and re: quality escape, it implies at least two errors. The initial mistake and the mistake in QA not catching the mistake (assuming there is a QA process). We’re fallible humans so we need a QA system to catch the inevitable errors. How tight the QA layer is depends on how mission critical the software or hardware is. A web app is going to have a lighter process than one where failure equals death or disability.
