I understand it is part of the engineering process (continous improvement) but it cheapens and downplays the 6 week build season too much, in my opinion.

I feel like this is the exact spirit of engineering. If what you make is not optimal you do whatever you can to make it work right. If you have the ingenuity/know how to completely rework your design in 12 hours, more power to you.
