I really tried my best to stay out of this, but........
I have a minimum tensile requirement of 200 ft/lbs. I submit a PPAP that shows a mean of 300 ft/lbs. I decide to retarget my process to 250 ft/lbs. (for whatever reason). Am I going to PPAP that - NO. The change has not affected customer requirements for fit, form, function, performance, and/or durability. I guess I don't see where Bryon's scenario is any different and I don't see where that decision is unethical.

In Bryons case, since the weight of the material is almost twice the original it may present a problem with the end user.
