Well you just missed the point of my post, in multiple places no less.
If no one can say that expensive hubs are made to "stricter tolerances", what's to say that they aren't? This is no better than the original claim that expensive hubs are made to "stricter tolerances". Do you get my point now? Same reasoning goes for the rest of landgoliers post.

I've revised my quoted section so people with short attention spans know what i'm directly refuting.

Doesn't make a difference to YOU maybe, sure makes a difference to me. Again, that was the point of my last sentence in post #46.
