Yeah, I'll admit to this one, we're always tweaking. Changes in material can improve a part's life, while not being noticeable by looking at the part. If I'm replacing a broken part, I'd like the new one to be better whenever possible.

Also if I were King, I would require all designers to use their own product for 6 months before it was marketed. Time and time again I have bought a product and after using it a few times a thought would come to mind. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

All the higher ups in the organization, not just the designers!

Another pet peeve is instruction manuals. I am convinced that some manuals are written by people who have never seen the product they are writing the manual for.

Some manuals are written by people who just learned English, especially the Asian ones...
