"In a process having more than 20 steps, each step will have to have in excess of 98% yield to have a total yield of 80% or so, and if each step is only at 95% you may have real yield problems."

One last point, Zeev. Your argument assumes each of the steps is independent and therefore the failures are cumulative in linear fashion. My graduate math and QC are rusty, but I strongly disagree. Let's let the old mare rest. :-)
