    Having studied architecture at university, this stuff sometimes happens.
    It's like playing "telephone."
    Information gets lost between the exchange & transfer of ideas between the designer, the engineer, the contractor, & even the construction crew. That's why it's essential to tour the building site and build mock ups to scale and smaller models so that everyone is clear on what is going on.

      there's that old story of an engineering student being charged a hundred dollars for a part and one being charged 10,000 dollars for a part. The latter student didn't take into account the tolerances that were actually needed versus what was calculated or on the drawing.

      I had a teacher tell me once that rock and roll was largely influenced by the automobile, and the rhythm of your car hitting the seams between sections in the highway. The seams lend themselves to simple time signatures like 4/4 and the seams reinforce the beat...
      Of course, that argument only works if you calculate out the bpm and see if it works out that it's close to the same speed as the seams on the road.

      The highway system in the US was built with the idea that all the roads connected to Detroit. Why? Well, during WWII Detroit was the city where all tanks were being made. It was made for easy deployment should the US get invaded. The highways were also wide enough to be used as emergency landing/takeoff strips for aircraft during the cold war I believe. This is also why the US highways are very, very straight.

    There is a musical road in Hungary that plays very nicely, but the grooves are only underneath the right set of tires, and that got me thinking that you could have two narrow lines of grooves underneath both left and right side of the car which would enable you to have much faster note switching and you could also play two notes at a time.
