(except maybe my pal Koog)

I agree with everything you posted except your comment that it takes 1-2 years best case to get a fab from greenfield to production. I've never seen that done in one year, even with larger nodes of years past.

I would also add cleanroom requirements to your excellent list of production black magic. Even microscopic particles in the air can ruin circuits in production. Wafer fabs are orders of magnitude cleaner than any hospital operating room.
