The production line is what you always see on TV when cars are being talked about. Yet this is 'final assembly' and just the integration of the other bits and bobs. Clearly 'final assembly' is important but it is not everything. Components and sub-assemblies matter too. By analogy: Things at Tesla happen in 'Elon time' and most fans of the brand are happy with that. For them it is like having a baby, with hopes that the baby will grow up to be a child reading '5000 words a month' before their first year of school, in a school that isn't fully built yet. They know that there can be problems 'building the school', 'sourcing books' and what-not and are okay with that. So long as they can see progress they are happy. After all the school has done an excellent job of 'educating older kids' albeit a smaller number of them. Yet others who sent their kids to schools that follow a more orthodox curriculum come along wanting to do-down this rival school. They find what hasn't been done and latch on to 'the lack of progress on the main hall'. They ignore the 'well stocked library' and 'completed classrooms' and go running off to the authorities. How can the kids sit their exams with no assembly hall, they ask? And no, a 'hastily elected tent' won't do. The authorities who aren't directly in the teaching game have to take on board the nay-sayers complaints. The opinions of the parents don't matter to them, they are listening to these outsiders wanting to do everything down. They don't know if these are technicalities or whether the parents were tricked into something that was never going to happen. So it all gets serious.
