I wonder what is an acceptable "make it work"?

I had an old GM car and looked at it on a lift once and... "hey, what are those?"

shims. It had lots of shims from the factory to make the body straight.

I suspect there are lots of these "fixers" in many products that will work unnoticed, but people might not want to know they exist.
