If you can't trust a company to quality control a product the first time, how can you trust the same company to do a stress test? I want to hear from the person who's sent their cams back to CCH and been told they've failed. From what I've heard, every cam CCH has tested has passed. Possible? Sure. Likely? I'm not nearly as certain...
They had a QC issue, and maybe they didn't handle it as good as they could have at first indication. It happens a lot in manufacturing. But for every instance of a company not reacting sufficiently for any given issue there are 1000 of someone over-reacting to something innocuous. They're trying to avoid both, and it's not as easy as it may seem. Unfortunately only in hindsight can you be sure of the correct path. It can be difficult on the other side of the fence... it's probably easier to sit on this side and make assumptions and accusations.
Did they fuck up? Sure. But does that mean that I don't trust that they pull tested something that they said they did? No. Pull testing isn't rocket science and I don't believe that they are so morally evil that they would just say they did for the hell of it.
Now, would I climb on them even after they've been pull tested? That's a different question for a different thread.
