I remember talking to some bloke who was talking about engineering solutions and problems they had with forklifts having their motors burnt out with people sticking them into reverse to stop. At considerable cost they tried, and failed, to design a control system that would prevent this from happening.
It turned out the solution was to tell the workers to stop fucking doing it or else it's a disciplinary offence.
Absolutely no part of this fable could be embellished, stretched, bent or fabricated in the name of imparting the wisdom of the old keep it simple, stupid maxim
tell them to put a jumper on or you'll throw them out on the street
