It does make you wonder if some factory rejects are somehow getting lost on their way to the skip.

Edit: The sad things are for most of us not trying to identify the molecules in the far corners of the image these lens are probably OK at the price.

I don't think so. Most likely, these are the ones which you receive in replacement under warranty terms.  I still think it's safer to buy such "el cheapos" than used ones.

Lenstip.com used such low-priced copy for their testing of 20mm f/2.8 (http://www.lenstip.com/362.1-Lens_review-Samsung_NX_20_mm_f_2.8-Introduction.html) and they didn't find any obvious problems such as decentering.
