Don't believe this at all... Still up-dooted

As stupid as this may sound, at least to the superstitious part, I give credit.

I've worked directly and currently work indirectly with technicians that work on very expensive and very... I'll call it difficult machinery.

I'm also going to add another layer to the post.

Technicians will rage, throw tools around, curse at and the machines out of frustration because nothing makes sense on how the machines were designed, built, wired or installed for the next person taking care of it to work on it but they will, somehow, make it work. And in an reliable and reproducible way. And teach everyone withing earshot how they've done, so when the machine goes rogue again, everyone will know why.

But when engineers go around the machines... Screw it. Those machines will be non-working for an unreasonable amount of time. The repair will take an extremely long and convoluted process to take effect, following very long and complex procedures that nobody but them will ever be able to understand and rarely are documented, and documented are barely understandable, after which the machine will only work if its startup up is made following very specific and borderline exotheric procedures, from which any deviation will render the machine non-functional. And if questioned, the answers are borderline dogmatic and cryptic.

So, I definetely give some credit to the post. Not on the blood and animal sacrifice parts but the rest sounds just too familiar to discard.

Do you know the difference between a fairy tale and a sea story? A fairy tale starts "Once upon a time in a far away land...", and a sea story starts "I swear to fucking God this true, my buddy in Supply was there!..."
