I don't disagree with this, Ed.
The following question is; Is this okay, or should someone's (manufacturer, retailer, etc.) standards be higher than just catering to what I would call the "lowest common denominator"?
Should the retailer be better at educating the customer about what a good and proper set-up is? Can the manufacturer deliver a better more consistent product in this regard?
Are there retailers out there that love guitars, feel a responsibility to the customer/player, and can still figure out a way to be profitable?
...or should we just shrug our shoulders, and pretty much ignore (or mock) the actual needs of the player?
...and as I asked earlier;
