Manufacturing defects are not hardware bugs.

Binning is irrelevant to hardware bugs.

That's what I'm saying, in response to the previous comment saying this is to work around a bug. Bugs are common to all parts, where defects are unique per part. Binning works around manufacturing defects and turns a yield problem into different grades or SKUs of parts.
