Screw rule
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I know it's an intentional feature, but it's a bad feature. Camming out damages the head of the screw. This exchanges repairability for manufacturing simplicity. Additionally, the sloped shape makes it possible to use slightly oversized or undersized drivers, further increasing the chance of camming out and damaging the screwhead.
To your point it's a compromised solution for a problem that no longer exists.
