I'm reminded of the old, well, relatively old, hominem:

If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck; it's a duck.

Al,

IMO this is a much about productive communication as it is about knowing
about a particular subject matter.    Enlightenment, it therefor seems to
me, begins with giving a direct answer to the original question.

Al,

Do you know what the quality control practices are at Microsoft?
There is one basic practice that has been widely reported at least amoung
software engineering and software quality circles.   Can you name it?  If
you can't I would suggest you are talking through your hat.

1.  Shame David held back sharing his real feelings ]:-)
2.  Any pervasive evidence why M$ is an (occasional) correct way to
    refer to an outfit that puts quality control on the back burner?
