deWaal wants to condemn wave soldering, but he's poorly advised to do so.
deWaal exposes his ignorance and prejudices often, and this is just another
example.

Krueger wants us to believe that production lines at Hewlett Packard
are of the same quality as those of Japanese mass-production companies
like Kenwood.

Wave soldeing is a well-proven process that works well when properly applied
and controlled.

Irrelevant. We were discussing the quality of PCB soldering of
consumer electronics, something I have extended experience with.
I estimate that 50% of the problems are solved by resoldering PCBs.

Wave soldering was THE standard way to solder electronic circuit cards until
SMT became popular.

No argument from me here.

Wave soldeing was used for electronic assembly at a wide variety of price
and quality points. It's still being used where it fits.

Heyhey! A wide variety of price and quality.
Thanks for admitting that wave soldering isn't always of such high
quality.

Thanks for exposing your own ignorance and stupidity, Fella.

Thanks for exposing your......how shall I say it.....borgishness,
Arnold.

Knowing you, you'd probably think of that as a compliment.
Go figure!
