Any time you want to rehab my 160 year old staircase just let me know.

I understand the sarcasm....you make a good point about what are acceptable standards. When I worked installing commercial woodwork for banks, libraries, country clubs etc...we used the AWI for settling that arguement. It spells out in great detail how this is judged, understanding full well that nothing is 100% perfect.
I have a good friend that rehabs hotels all over the country.....he was doing a final walk through inspection with the owners representative...when she started pointing out the small imperfections that could only be seen up close......he reminded her that the contract states that upon inspection only the imperfections clearly visable from five feet away need to be corrected.
