"Bionic Bird benefits from strict quality controls that are so rigorous that each bird is built like a prototype." ....um, what?

Ehhh.... Reminds me of the story about when the Soviets were cloning the B-29 to make the Tu-4. Supposedly Stalin ordered an exact copy of the American bomber, and so the copies were made exact down to the bullet holes.

A flawed prototype does no one good. Could imply that the specs are high too.
