@luelou8464 I'd argue that both the 'bean counters' and the engineers answer to a common superior, and deciding between what one says needs to happen and what the other says needs to happen is That person's job. You can put Some of the blame on the bean counter of the engineer if they're not doing their job Properly, but ultimately the person making the decision between the two priorities is the one the responsiblity really rests on. (Yes, even, arguably Especially, if they just set a blanket policy of one or the other being 'superior' in the decision making chain.)

@Pileot That sort of thing already annoys me. It's like "there are plenty of Legitimate issues that need addressing. Why are you discrediting people trying to get those fixed by associating them with your completely made up nonsense?!". Happens with lots of things, both things where the actual problems being fixed so the thing can be usable is desired, and things where the problems are so great that you would never want the thing adopted. Very annoying.

@EZX280 I believe those are called wing doors, though I could be wrong.

@TonyPombo you see plenty of old pictures where 'gas station' is 'two pumps completely out in the open outside the car mechanic's shop' or the like, so you're probably not wrong there.
