Probably so and likely quite a bit, but creating perceptions is a big part of marketing and maintaining secrecy is the fuel for maintaining perceptions.

Don’t kid myself?!
The amount of actual hands on time polishing one bridge of any PP is more than the amount of actual hands on time on any hulk from start to finishing the process of manufacturing.
