I would appreciate a non-snide response as someone who is actually trying to understand I see, a non-snide response... Well please refer your insult to someone else. I make an effort to return courtesy with courtesy. You're doesn't justify a response.

"how often are the wafers in environments that are completely separate from the operators" Pretty close to 100% of the time. The wafers ride in boats and the whole thing is inside a pod. The pod rides on tracks through the fab until it arrives at the tool and the tool opens the pod and takes the wafers.
