<<  It always amazes me how PCB Fabricators expect OEM's to be 
      responsible for testing a board to prove the Fabricator has 
      done his job. Why doesn't the Fabricator test the board to 
      insure he has done his job properly? Why is this cost always 
      passed down to the OEM?

Like buying a car , you get what you pay for!
you don't pay for the testing  and expect boards to be fully tested.  I
wonder how you get a Benz Mercedes for paying the price of a toy car.
