Somewhere in graduate studies, we had a round table about product failure. Turns out the anticipated lawsuits were less than the cost to eradicate the problem with the product, so decision was to let it be. Had trouble with that, and still do. Argued the morality of it all, but got shot down with the talk of the bottom line, price per share drop, etc etc. Sooo, switched to K-12 administration, where regionally (Cali), had a 33% drop out rate. When asked Cabinet what would you do if you had a mfging co, and one out of every three products on the assembly line was defective, all said they'd close the factory. But, when brought it home, with that analogy to CA k-12, everyone hung their heads. Guess I wasn't PC enough.
