A text I read on grinding your own telescope mirror made the following point. A 
 well equipped professional optical shop will know when they have achieved the 
minimum to meet their standards and will quite sensibly stop at that point.  A 
gifted amateur may very well achieve more accurate results with a lot more 
effort, quite simply because they don't know when to stop. The same logic may 
well apply to early manual versus modern automated production.
