Agreed - nearly every manufacturing facility in existance has whole-heartedly embraced the concept of Poka Yoke. There are excellent reference books with tens of thousands of examples, for every concievable assembly operation.

In addition, computer-based vision systems are incredibly cheap these days. It costs very little to provide automated visual inspection of 100% of product, with automated checks for size, shape, discolouration, cracking, orientation, and even OCR of markings. If there was any visible difference between the different pills, a vision system would have flagged the error before product left the packaging facility.
