    See but now is it implying he’s actually a Mr. Perfect or that he’s someone who pretends insistently to be Mr. Perfect? Because if they are building nukes, how often are they actually testing for duds? Is this implying he never makes a dud and everyone where everyone else sometimes does, or that he pretends to never make a dud when realistically nobody will never know until the warheads start flying and it becomes a drop in the pool?

    I choose to believe it’s the latter, that he “takes pride in making the best bombs, with no duds” whereas the disgruntled colleague understands that everyone is expected to never make a dud and that such a boastful claim is baseless since nobody will be able to prove it until Armageddon.
