Yes, he is.

And the point that the windows should probably not be using a screw of the same diameter but a different length is a good one, if you made them obviously the wrong size it'd completely eliminate the problem.

It being possible for somebody to put shorter screws in something safety critical and somebody to check and say "yep, those are all in and fully tightened" is not a good thing.
