"Craft production is undoubtedly higher quality than any continuous production - it just takes more skill (or software tools..) to do correctly and consistently."

Craft production peaks at a higher quality than any continuous production, I think is what you're trying to say? Because obviously, those who fail to do it correctly or consistently are still engaged in "craft production".




Yes, that is what I meant :)

If we take this a little further though, part of craft production is the curation; being willing to dump batches that don't meet your quality standard.

Any producer who knowingly ships product below their quality standard is no longer engaded an artisan production.

Unless this is the 'No true Scotsman' fallacy...


I think it certainly runs risk of "No true Scotsman". It also assumes that "their quality standard" is higher than that employed in the continuous production cases. I do think it's a good nudge for artisanal producers, which fits your role :-P
