I think this is where you are going astray, right there. It is worse than Aliens, it is built by Germans. Germans are just like Aliens, only more precise and with less humor*. Plus, they have crammed everything in there, in the smallest possible space, so it is a lot like fixing the plumbing under the sink. But with the added interest of possibly being electrocuted.

And all these guys here on the forum? The ones doing all the fixing and upgrades? They're just NUTS!

(*BTW, I can say this, because I am German. )
