I missed this post.

After looking at this one and then looking at your picture I see what you are talking about.

This reminds me of something like this that happened to me a few years ago.

It involves steel studs and running conduit.
In the picture below you will see factory made holes in the studs.

These studs have a top and a bottom and if you dont pay attention the holes wont line up.
The holes are for conduit to go through in a straight line.
The south of the border framing crew flipped every other stud so they wouldn't line up.

I had to use a hole saw and cut holes in about 100 of these studs to run my conduit.
This was an unnecessary pain in the butt.
I think they intentionally did this.
We had to keep a constant eye on everything on that job or it would come up missing.
Just a thought as your post reminded me of this.
