- It may not be an "official" QC section, but that is what QA is all about.
- The company could use an accounting scheme that would charge hours doing
- the above as QA/QC type work, but why bother? The only thing that would
- do is give some number for some bean counter to say "We spend too much on
- this: cut it back."
