When the original material was developed, we worked with a team of industry experts from a minimum of four different companies. The material was validated by them, down to the last test question. So this has not, to date, been a particularly thorny

We agree with Wolfgang. Adding points along his line of reasoning: * Also consider placed component prescience. Sometimes, a mis-pick results in paste on the nozzle, which leads to the next component being stuck on the nozzle and not placed, which
