Is one of the points you are trying to make is that we don't have a proper level of engineering until something is mass produced to the same quality level? Maybe mass produced is the wrong word, but something that satisfies more of the common design constraints or functional requirements. I do think that there is a sloppyness that develops in thinking when using a medium that allows for free infinite continuous modification. Having a design be final has a certain foundational quality to it.
