That's fair.

I looked up Internet speed by country expecting to see Germany be in the top 25, because of their incredible engineering, then I see them at 56. That is shocking to me.

    Incredible engineering? Germany? Have you ever owned a German car? Over-engineered unreliable expensive POC.

    I have never owned a German car. I find the idea that something is over engineered and unreliable together funny.

    Over-engineering is dedicating a team of specialists to shaving off every last piece of material from a pneumatic hose, justified with endless computer simulations based on unrealistic assumptions like constant temperature throughout the year, then wondering why the hoses fail in less than a year in the real world. "But the simulation". "But the data". "But the theory". "The real world is a statistical fluke". That's over-engineering.
