Batch machinery wears and goes out of flat. However batch production does not lend itself to maintaining very tight specs because it causes downtime.
Having had the pleasure of re-machining batch work with more accurate grinding machines in my past I can say for certain that a good looking grind does not mean an accurate grind.
FWIW a consistent crosshatch pattern would be a better indicator flatness than those lines.
Bumbling forward into the unknown.
