Maybe they chose not to let the boss know til it was too late..........maybe he was kept in the dark, cause he (GS)  has emailed several people at the factory asking about this new problem.........(from the Stern emails I have seen)

IF it was noticed at whitewood stage, why would you meaningly let it go....more like it wasnt noticed til the new Pro playfields started rolling in....either way, i dont understand why 25 year pinball design veterans missed something major and a bunch of pinheads half way around the world noticed it in ten minutes....only the game designer can take/should take responsibility for this stuff up....bizarre really...just bizarre...
