How many of you scan bad sectors from new off-the-shelf hdd before real use? Like filling with random data so that sector scan can be done.

Is it more like paranoid checking or somewhat plausible, that some manufacturing defect is so common to cause bad sectors from start?

I once read comment, can't remember where though, that someone just in case does this if there was manufacturing defect.
