The big difference between myself and the armchair engineers here is that I've actually gotten to meet, and speak with many MB engineers over the years, unlike the opinionated "experts" here.  |
That's cute. I grew up as a tagalong kid working oilfield jobs with my dad. I moved into working in electronics production, went to school and got my education, been to multiple training facilities around the world, and for the last 18 years have been the head engineer designing motor drives and electric switchboard controls. If I took the same attitude as MB (or you), I wouldn't be in business. When you get feedback from the technicians installing and servicing your equipment YOU LISTEN.
The only reason MB can get away with crap like that is because of their reputation and snobs like you defending poor design "because it was meant to be that way" instead of "yeah, it's a lame design and could have been done better, but that's how they did it".
