Clearly Outside the Box

I remember an anecdote told by a professor of engineering at Imperial
College (=solid high quality engineering) that also lectured to
"Industrial Designers" at the Royal College of Art (=solid high
quality art).

He noted that if you asked the designers to produce a design for an
egg, they would produce something that was the size, shape and colour
of an egg, but which was completely empty inside. And they would be
*completely* satisfied with that.

It seems that anecdote can still be still be recycled, with no loss of
validity.

Where is the door?

Through the hole in center of the electric motor. It's like the old
science demonstration for getting a hard boiled egg into a soda
bottle. Throw in a small piece of burning paper to use up the oxygen
and reduce the internal pressure by enough to "thwump!" suck the egg
in. Getting out, well that's a different matter.
