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.
