The ability to monitor the supply chain inbound to the machinist, measure the parts the machinist makes and track them to their final destination in a larger assembly external customer, does not imply the ability to prescribe a specific manufacturing process, make the part in question, or to evaluate its fitness for use for a particular purpose. Those latter functions, and creation of specifications as acceptance criteria, are jobs for design and production engineers.
DUDE! You're on a tangent. The QA department writes the code to test the crypto or else your back to a machinist (the code writer) certifying his own parts (the code). In order to write the code they HAVE to understand how the fuck the code they're testing works -- RR "Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers ... And neutralize them, neutralize them, neutralize them"
