Default Anything man-made than can fail- needs "over-analysis"

Hooke's Law, Occam's Razor, the Pythagorean Theory, Newton's Laws of Gravity- all bow down at the Altar of Murphy- when it can go wrong, it will- Three disciplines intrigue me to no end (I barely got out of HS and into the USMC- many years ago now) they are: Classical Music, Architecture and Metallurgy- all involved with higher strata of Math- I have nothing but respect for the engineers who design and then oversee the build- as we used to say in the Fab Shop[- "If they can draw it on paper, we can build it in metal to print- time after time"__
