Sorry, I should'a been more clear with my dissing of the Fender design!
The soldering of the pots to the board wasn't really the issue.
If the pots were threaded body over the center shaft with nuts affixing them to the panel there might have been no problem ( unless the center shaft sheared itself from the wafer ). The real issue was that the pots were just the cheap threadless body in a clearance hole in the panel. If the design ( and quality control in the assembly ) was such that the pots were located adequately away from the front panel that the depth of hole in the knob would allow the knob back to panel to absorb the impact then the damage wouldn't have been as likely to occur. Oh well, you can put a kid in front of a CAD screen but you can't necessarily teach common sense.

(The clunk you just heard was me stepping down from my soapbox)
