Univ. of Conn. completed a study on Factory Systems vs. Dispersed Work forces and found three distintive characteristics to be present at a true factory:

* expensive or indivisible technology;
* concentration of workers in a single location;
* close monitoring or supervision of work;

... followed up with statements about a division of labor, routine, and technology and the so-called "Factory Discipline". According to this study, if these type of combined elements don't exist, it's not a factory. It seems this topic has been debated on other fronts for many decades. ... individuals doing the same job over and over, etc.

So what Cobra replica manufacturers possess ALL of these combined characteristics that make them a factory?

who knows...
