I have worked on projects, and it doesnt have to be technical/mechanical, sometimes it is just someone higher up in the food chain that changes it for the worse. All people involved will fight tooth and nail or just grumble on how !!@**! stupid it was but have to live with it. I am thinking this runs across all industries, it may not be the person or people that design the product but some exec that is completely removed from the process and either wants to be involved, wants to flex their muscle, or for whatever reason thinks they are right that screws it up.
On the other hand when it comes to sealed units like transmissions these days or proprietary screws as someone mentioned, I can see why. If a company has to warranty something and you know you have a good product you may not want the end customer going in and screwing it up and then putting it back together and claiming its a product defect. It gets officially logged as a warranty claim, lowers the ranking in whatever survey somewhere, and costs the company time and money for the company because someone monkeying around thinking they thought they knew how to fix something ends up breaking it. Anyone that has been a technician in anything knows what I mean. Not saying anyone on here would do that but there is a reason we all watch ETCG. :whistle:
