I should probably clarify what I said above. Ax ante, the expected value of shipping the butterfly keyboards was probably positive, even if there was some chance they would be called out and lose money in the long run. I'm also willing to assume that "cheaping out" was not part of the original design vision, and that it became a judgement call later in the development process. What's important is that, in the long run, these incidents don't really hurt the company as long as they don't happen too often, even if this particular incident lost them more than they gained.
