•It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
•Interchangeable parts won't.
•Identical units tested under identical conditions will not be identical in the field.
•A dropped tool will land where it can do the most damage (also known as the law of selective gravitation).
•Components that must not and cannot be assembled improperly will be.
•Dimensions will always be expressed in the least useable terms.
•The probability of a dimension being omitted from a set of instructions is directly proportionate to its importance.
•In any given miscalculation, the fault will never be placed if more than one person is involved.
•All constants are variable.
