What Do Experts Often Miss?

A renowned automobile company engineer outlined a design for a new world-class car. He presented it to the company’s CEO, who loved his design. They approved it for the first make.

Once approved, the engineer put all his efforts into building the real car. In a few months, the car had taken its shape and shine. It was now ready for a test drive.

But when the car was being prepared for the test, the engineer was shocked. The hood of the car was a few inches higher than the gate of the assembling chamber.

The engineer was upset about his mistake. He didn’t expect the car’s height would touch the gate. The new model was now locked in its womb.

Though it could be forcefully driven out of the gate, it would scratch the top or even the hood might get crushed. It needed a repair and possibly a repaint right away.

The painting engineer accepted a repaint. Even the CEO permitted a forced ride. But the manufacturing engineer was dubious about whether the car would stay the same once it crashes.

The company manager even advised removing the upper sections of the gate itself.

A security guard standing at a distance was listening to this conversation. He then neared and asked — “If you allow me a chance, maybe I can find a solution to this problem?”

All four people doubtfully stared at the guard, uncertain whether to allow him. The CEO then reluctantly permitted him a chance.

Then the guard grabbed a pin and leaked half of the air from all four tires of the car. The height of the car dropped a few inches. The car then easily slid out of the gate.

All the standing experts there were bedazzled.
