If I had a set of hammers from my other pianos that were hung as if by 
chance, I would look at that. But these are Steinway hung hammers, and they did a 
very good job. The second thing is, why would one key/hammer work perfectly, and 
the next one, with all the same characteristics, not. So you unqualified 
answer is valid.
