My friend's kid spent twenty minutes explaining why hot dogs are technically sandwiches.

Trusting the engineer every time is a bit too broad. A good engineer knows the theory, but a great mechanic has seen a thousand real world failures. I've seen engineers spec parts that look perfect on paper but can't handle road salt or vibration. You need both sides to build something that lasts.

Man, that's such a common thing! It's wild how we can just stick with a way of doing something for years because it works "good enough." I see it all the time with people loading gear, using the same slow method because they never saw a faster way. That trucker's hitch is a game changer, it makes everything so tight. There's a ton of quick videos on YouTube if you just search for it.
