Herb, they had to set up the tooling for the mount they are using now, 
it would have cost no more to set up
tooling for a mount with full compatibility, your argument holds no 
water, it is pure sophistry.

on a different assembly line from one that had the tooling already in place

Think about it, the tooling would have cost the same either way.  It's
not exactly like a new design was necessary.
Re-tooling would add to the project cost, if it were done now.
I'm not even sure that re-tooling would be necessary, I haven't taken a
*ist-d apart, anyone been that brave yet?
