Hi Tim, Agreed! 100% inspection on boards is not practical (certainly for any length of time!) or of much value. I was attempting to address the progression of: (SAMPLE) inspection --> Skip lot/reduced inspection --> Dock to stock. If the goal is to go to dock to stock, I dont see any value (and in fact some increased risk) of the intermediate step.
