This kind of thinking can be a problem. Spending outsized effort on unproven theories. Would it really have a serious impact if the shutters were bad? On the flip side, if it was truly so impactful, relying on the faulty shutters would have been a very irresponsible thing to do. They could have paid some humans to use a pulley system out of sight at that point.

Yes, because if he felt the same about other things ("woult it really have a serious impact if this/that") he'd have built worse or more-samey to other OEMs products. So, it's not like you can have some precise cut-off point to stop caring, where the faulty systems in the keynote don't matter, but some other aspect of the product does. If he ended up only caring for functionality, high impact, aspects of the products, it wouldn't be the same products. And if the Keynotes didn't have such high production value demands, they wouldn't been as good. It's not a binary issue (stop being too demanding and start being ok with good enough). It's "where to put the cutoff point" in a sorite range (human caring).
