Yes, because most often the product meets specs but those specs are not fit for purpose.

HDMI boards seem to be very prone to this sort of thing. On my Onk, the problems were manufacturing quality and not engineering. Onkyo acknowledged the problem and took care of it. The engineering team for my Onk consisted of Japanese nerds who ignored their friends and family for years to perfect the product. Then the factory screwed up all their good work!
