Reminds me of 2 guys who said the prototype stage was so you could get it

Reminds me of an old Dilbert comic, where they're all sitting around a
table at a production meeting and Wally holds up the product. The
Boss say "That's only cardboard!" To which Wally replies, "Oh, then
it's Beta."

Or something along those lines..... Went looking for the strip but
could not find it.

Actually, another poster raises an interesting point.

The push to final product without adequate controls and proper testing
could leave the Company open to Product Liability issues. If someone
is seriously injured or killed as a result of using the product, an
astute lawyer might subpeona documents to determine the extent to
which the Company was aware of the safety issues. Having no process
in such a situation would likely be viewed quite negatively, perhaps
even as reckless.
