    If you extrapolate the curve of information, cars will be recalled before the manufacturer retools the plant to build them.

    One thing the writer of the article does not point out is that even a perceived offense from a customer service can be made into a major incident. Working at a casino in a customer service position I have seen this very often. A customer recently claimed that his mailing did not have an offer starting at 2pm. He said his offer started at 6am and he wanted to get his bonus offer. I asked if he had this mailing with him and he produced it. I pointed out the start time on the mailing. The customer then said it was wrong and he should have had his bonus offer at 6am. I asked how it could be wrong when it showed the time on the mailer. At this point he made some nasty comments about the company I work for and stormed off.

    My point is that anyone can make an accusation and blow it out of proportion, rightly or wrongly.
