Excellent point.
The first makers of furniture were concerned only about a peace of wood
under their peace.
And only generations later, after some developments in fine tools, new
techniques, and huge investments from general public they stopped
producing crap and "get in the habit of doing things right, watched
closely, and corrected.  Like someone who has learned to make fine
furniture" (<-quote).
The First PC was introduced to the market exactly 20 years ago, 1983.
My point: we don't need to know WHY, but HOW, that's why they pay us big
bucks ;-)

and are generally incapable of producing crap and letting it out the door.  If there were this same ethic with 
programmers, and the same model of training, what do you think the state of software would look like today?
