Sort of like balancing an apple on a pin head (not imply anything about the
reasoning ability of a green bean counter).

...and QE's.   (snork, giggle).

tongue in check/
The trick to longterm employment as a QE (18 yr mark approaches, knock on
wood) is to maintain a Goldilocks level of quality to exist.
That is to say;
    * Not too many defects or they will scapegoat you for not resolving the
yield/reliability/field returns problem and give you a pinkslip.
    * Not too few defects or they will feel safe putting an Accountant w/
limited "real" mfg background in charge.
        * He will then conclude that QE's are no longer necessary. 
Reasoning that quality is everybody's job so why have QE's or a Quality
Dept? He read Crosby after all (but not all of it).
    * But just the right level of Quality that keeps them appreciating you
and your Company reputation & profitability intact /tongue in cheek
