And that's why I'll never buy a refurbished machine that I need to depend on.
A faulty system that previously passed inspection may suffer additional systemic problems that simply won't be identified by additional inspection. Furthermore, inspections are typically designed to identify known faults. Now, I have complete faith in Apple's inspection methods, but inspections are not fool-proof. Rather, let's give them the generous assumption that they perform a complete inspection for refurbished goods, meaning there is no difference between inspection of new or refurbished products. Thus, the idea that Apple does "extra testing" for their refurbished products is very hard to believe. I see this happen and I work in the medical device industry, so I find it hard to believe that it doesn't happen in the tech industry. Many companies use simplified inspection methods for reworked/repaired/refurbished products, often inspecting only that which was a known fault.
