This kind of thing enrages me because if these guys had any familiarity with manufacturing as it happens in practice—as opposed to in their imaginations—they would know that lots of it does in fact involve the computer.

Yup, worked in medical device manufacturing for a couple years before moving to Quality Systems engineering. 90% of what we did was computerized records or using a computer to run/do maintenance on the machines.

If Tuberville googled "CNC", he might be extra confused, not realizing that Google seems torn between "CNC" in the sense of (1) "Computer Numerical Control" machine tools & (2) "Consensual Non-Consent" kink. Of course, he & many of his colleagues just have horrific trouble understanding consent. 😬😢

Every one of our assemblers has a computer on their bench. The work instructions are electronic documents, as are the time entry tables that track not only minutes worked but QA, part numbers and assembly steps. Calibration is done with computers as are final verification. Stock tracking is digital.
