My vision of perfection is different from yours?
Engineering beauty is when form follows function. A hundred year bulb that will only be used for 5 minutes is ugly and imperfect
One that lasts 3.5 weeks is still ugly, but one that last 20m +/- 15 is beautiful, and one that lasts 10min +5/-5 is a masterpiece. An engineer still wants a safety factor, after all
