Comment on How a few screws cost $2000 and a 240GB multinodes cluster cost $50parent

Yeah sure - but where do you stop? Where do you draw the line and say "this bit doesn't need to be space-rated"?

Reductio ad absurdum says the table it sits on is "part of the test", and the power supply it runs off is "part of the test", and the engineers car that he uses to get to work to run the test is "part of the test"...

I'd _strongly_ advise that a screw that hold together the enclosure of a load-simulating-test-jig is _not_ "part of the test" in the way that requires ISO9000 compliance (or space-rating).
