The silkscreen polarity check reported 8 signs correct and passed on a board with 33 signs. The front and back artwork boxes cover most of the board, and the check drops every sign inside an artwork's bounding box, so 25 signs were never judged. They were right, but only because the layout review measured all 25 by hand from the Gerber files.
