The Engineering Confidence Paradox
The eternal engineering hierarchy in its natural habitat.

The Engineering Knowledge Paradox
The eternal engineering hierarchy in its natural habitat!

Nothing says "fake it till you make it" quite like confidently explaining something you barely understand to someone who helped build the system. The documentation was probably written by that same senior engineer who's now forgotten it exists. Engineering teams run on this beautiful chaos - it's basically Newton's fourth law of motion.
