While numbers wizards have came and gone we need to understand the manufacturing process. Whether it is GM Ford Chrysler and I have worked as a millwright at all three, they all have a manual number machine at the end of the line to change/alter/fix call it what you want problems-mistakes made by humans or machines. Monday and Friday are the days that are the most prone for mistakes and a small percent are scrapped because of mistakes and those numbers are used as build numbers for another on the line. Alcohol-drugs and just the normal”bad day”/ going on vacation are part of the manufacturing process. You only know the information you are given-is it good information? As a rule yes, but absolute? In your own mind.
