Humper,

Most people aren't around when a house is being worked on, or aren't inspecting the work as it happens, and wouldn't know if that was the attitude. As long as the house get's built, they don't really care once it's finished.
Besides, here, most of the mexicans who come across and don't speak english end up doing all the work, and its REALLY hard to tell what their attitude is, let alone their ability to do the work. Doesn't keep most normal people from living in the house though.

As for biners, like I said about professional rock climbers, how many tens of thousandds of people climb with non-locking biners? Most of them. Occasionally there are deaths, but the climbing community as a whole understands that these are widely due to OPERATOR ERROR, and they don't run around creating standards which hinder the rest of climbers who are able to climb safely by not taking shortcuts.
