Great find. It seems the process is still "hand made" (=good!)

I'm suprised that people still feel that way. Hand made cannot match the levels of accuracy that robotos are able to reach. Not only that, but at the end of the day, or after a shitty weekend, or a bad sleep the night before, the human workers output levels will start heading towards second rate. The robots will still be producing the same quality work.
