Someone once gave me a sheet of paper with several drawings of a similar item, each more grandiose and impractical than the last and titled variously, "what R&D proposed", "what engineering designed", "what drafting drew", "what the machineshop prototyped", "what marketing suggested"...
until the final drawing, a simple, easy to use, effective item marked
"what the customer actually ordered"
I laughed but I now find:
