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.

That consideration is orthogonal to prototyping.

** What asinine, issue avoiding drivel.

It's a cultural thing:

** Worse than ridiculous.

do we do our best to make the initial design 100% right, or do
we hack a first attempt and assume it won't be good enough to sell?

** Attempts to falsely define the issue = same as avoiding it.

Those designing widgets to be sold have a profit motive to add
improvement everywhere possible - such as at an earlier stage when it
would cost less. There is also profit motive to anticipate and get in
improvements and bug fixes early enough to reduce iterations of any/all
stages of development.

Frankly,
** Frankly - John Larkin is a ridiculous, posturing nut case.
Thousands of his putrid piles of autistic verbal diarrhoea here prove that.

I find such to only be within the case for some engineers frequently
posting to this NG to be denialists of AGW in order to support ability of
Homo Sapiens to survive such and to oppose possible (probable to
engineers) octopus-like taxation schemes.

the prototype approach will probably result in an inferior,
buggier product getting into the field.

** The truth is the exact opposite, of course.

My experience is that an extra iteration of development increases
time-to-market, and that causes great disadvantage against "The
Competition".
An extra iteration of product development is sometimes necessary, but is
better to be avoided. All-too-often, aggressive "watchdogging" by
anyone/everyone who has itchy trigger fingers to find both problems *and
economical solutions to such problems* leads to less-buggy products
entering "The Market" at prices at which they sell (by doing so sooner),
and often that is the path for success via selling widgets.

Larkin is nothing more than another trolling jerk off.
Plus a complete ***.

Appears to me more like a successful business owner despite less-
favorable "business climate" in a municipality and "State" (province)
of the USA where he has been making his living by being a successful
business owner in electronics.
