Reminds me of an engineer when I worked for Caterpillar. I was on and R&D team for a new machine. They were trying to lighten it so it could be dropped from C130's. The engineer told everyone on the team that he would change the torque specs, because torquing nuts compressed them and compressing them makes them denser, which in turn makes them heavier. We all asked him if he was serious and sure **** he was... He repeated it and then proceeded to argue with the head cheese about it.. He didnt last long there.
