That nothing like I posted.
My apologies, I jumped ahead of myself in my reply. You asked how come it was not picked up during assembly and test, my point is that as it is thought from the reports that the outer battery cover did the pinching, there would be nothing to see during the assembly process and once it is assembled, inspection and test is all that is left to you. It is possible that inspection would not show anything and if the insulation was not compromised at that time then the unit would pass it's tests too.
