That is a fact, and something most vehicle enthusiasts don't seem to understand. I often read "why did these engineers make this decision?"

I work for a company that makes machines an order of magnitude more complex and expensive than any Porsche.

The sad truth is that every good idea put forth to improve our product has to be approved by managers and has to "buy its way on" to the vehicle. The number of ideas that die or are replaced by chicken **************** solutions is staggering.

Not to say that we don't make a good product because we do. If engineers ran the cash registers our product would be fantastic - and we'd be bankrupt.
