The Great Engineering Disconnect

The eternal war between those who design parts and those who have to make them! CNC technicians are having existential crises while mechanical engineers blissfully specify tolerances tighter than my research budget. Nothing says "I've never operated a machine in my life" quite like demanding a 0.001mm tolerance on a part that's going to be bolted to something with a 3mm gap. Those unnecessary fillets are just the cherry on top—because why make something manufacturable when you can make it pretty in CAD? The manufacturing floor isn't cursing your name... they're setting up a shrine to it.
