The eternal struggle between theory and practice! Theoretical physicists spend decades developing elegant mathematical frameworks like string theory, only to realize they're at the mercy of engineers who build their testing equipment.
It's like discovering your entire cosmic understanding depends on someone who thinks duct tape is a legitimate fixing solution! The look of existential dread says it all - "My 11-dimensional manifold calculations are being verified by people who round π to 3..."
Next time your particle accelerator gives weird results, remember: an engineer somewhere is giggling maniacally while scribbling "π ≈ 3" on the bathroom wall.
