Any insight as to WHY a lone bolt was a triple square?

Yep, to annoy all us DIYers. There is no engineering reason for Germans to continually use such oddball fasteners everywhere. I routinely change em out to standard hex/phillips/allen cause I hate getting stuck on lame fasteners that I can't find the tool for. This is certain to annoy German mechanics if they ever get their hands on my car.
