Yeah, people who feel it is implausible that a person could hit a button 5-10 times a minute for hours on end with reasonable quality control have apparently not ever had a modern manufacturing job.
I doubt that anyone with a modern manufacturing job would do it without pay, William.
Yet it's amazing what people will do for a volunteer enterprise.
My favourite personal example is the [[Puffing Billy Railway, Melbourne]]. Volunteers reliably turn up every morning at threeish to get the steam engine cleaned and heated up. Jobs that were previously an incentive for socialism are now something that volunteers will do because they love the cause.
You seem to be implying that you actually find this so implausible that you can't believe Gracenotes wasn't lying. Is that what you're saying?
