Reminds me of the old joke: A German company manages to create a section of incredibly thin wire - so thin that they don't even have the tools to accurately measure it. So they carefully package it and ship it to a Japanese company, with a letter asking them to measure it.
Two weeks later, they get a package, eagerly open it, and find inside a letter in Japanese and their part. Not being able to see any numbers, they get someone to translate it. The letter reads: "We didn't quite understand what you wanted us to do, so we drilled a hole and cut a thread in it."
