Well,

That's not the point. If they took the trouble to take a photo of a perfectly built part, then that means at least they've built a perfectly good part!

If the internals of the F-14 wing from that previous thread were photo-documented before closing up the skin (especially if the buyer could see them in advance), don't you suppose he would have said, "Hey, guys, I'm not satisfied that this wing will hold under load." Then maybe they send the factory some suggestions (like they did subsequent to the failure test) and the product gets better.

Under what circumstance would they deliberately take a pic of one thing, then send another? If that did happen, and there was a failure, the buyer is still left on a much better footing for a refund if he's got photographic evidence that he was sold something different than he thought he was buying, right?

The point is not just what's in the pic, the point is that they'll HAVE TO do a better job in construction if they have to account for what's on the inside BEFORE a crash.
