16 tooth sprocket surprise

i replaced the front sprocket today. when i looked at the lockwasher i found that it had been damaged . half of the splines were crushed as if the nut had been tightened with the washer misaligned. as it has less than one mile i will assume it happened at the factory.
i hammered it flat and refit it. i hope that's the only q.c. oversight.
