I always liked the Boots Theory of Economic Unfairness. Thanks for that!
I find reading his stuff unpleasant, because of the formatting, but the content is usually worth it, so I can switch on Reader Mode.
As far as the subject goes, I used to work for a world-renowned super-high-Quality corporation, and was heavily involved in what it takes to make Really Good Stuff.
It is painful. I think most people here (anywhere, really) would refuse to work that way. It takes almost military Discipline.
But the end result is usually really good, and expensive. That little bit of extra Quality actually adds a fair amount to the bottom line, and drastically reduces the customer base.
Most folks that get really rich, do so, by making acceptable-quality stuff, at a fairly low price, and selling lots of them.
Making top-Quality stuff can make you feel good (and maybe arrogant), but it won't make the kind of money that selling dross does.
