I don't think that THIS aspect is beng beat-to-death at all. At WHAT POINT do you accept an "assembly" as being good ? ...and not needing further inspection.

Why don't you give us a list of the assemblies that you will accept as-is and TRUST. And the ones that you do not. And WHY....you do or don't.
