Jones' publications on pattern distribution haven't yet become so widespread accepted that it now includes regulation, whether you agree or not.
I didn’t claim it did. Quite the contrary. I indicated that it made testing for pattern quality, ie distribution and ‘patchiness’ within the pattern obsolete unless you have an enormous sample size and even then your results are only going to validate the randomness of the system. It’s been done.
There is little doubt that regulation is trusted to accurate assembly jigs and not the old world method of test and try until it’s right.
If it isn’t right before you braze it up, it will be that way forever.
