@gimulnautti Maybe it doesn't?

Form follows function, as engineers say. What's the function? What are the operational constraints?

Engineering is an art. But not that art.

@tg9541 Maybe. But not paying attention to such things does tell of the psychology of people involved:

If we calculate the odds of nobody noticing this resemblance at SpaceX, I would say those simply have to be quite low.

Therefore, there’s a reasonably high probability that those who did see it were afraid to say it out loud, didn’t care, or were not motivated to do anything about it.

@gimulnautti I feel that you're assuming a lot, essentially you're projecting your own imagination on an organization, a group of people functioning to solve complicated questions regarding risk and knowledge at the limit of normal engineering. This group of people is a poor surface for your psychological projection. A certain mogul maybe is a better surface but that doesn't remove the reality of engineering. That's why your post should tell anyone more about your believes than about SpaceX.

@tg9541 I have no quarrel with your views on the case.

I have presented my expertise, you have presented yours.

Calling mine figments of imagination though, is a way of devaluing the points of human psychology I brought to the table in good faith.

You broke the principle of charity. So in essence, we’re not equals any more in this discourse, so I digress.
