You're new to how engineering works aren't you? The engineer is rarely the one who designs the final product. He gets the credit, he had the project in his name, he did the basic design work, but it was a tech/lab-rat who did the trial fitment and the final revisions. The engineer signed off on it, usually with extreme prejudice against anyone who would say ANYTHING constructive or disrespectful towards their precious design.

Just for a second, let's pretend you're a general tech at a dealership with that "two year degree". Day in and day out you lube/oil cars, you change light bulbs, you replace various parts as the service manager says. Then along comes this car with its stupidly designed headlight. Wouldn't you think that's a poor design? Maybe not a "flaw" but certainly not a "good" design.

Yes, condescendingly. Just like your posting here. I didn't speed read or skip over anything. Just because you say something with a nice voice and bat your eyelashes doesn't take away the meaning or intent.
