Way too many times I've wanted to do cruel, unspeakable things to automotive engineers....

What he ^^^ said.
There is a difference between intelligent and smart. It does take a reasonable degree of intelligence to get through engineering school, but, apparently it takes little common sense.
I am a tech as well (mail inserting equipment) and find myself in the same situation where I start wondering exactly how in the hell someone could get a BSME and be as stupid as a box of hammers.
This particular example seems to be a case of an engineer trying to show us how damn clever he is. His design may actually be a clever one, but anyone with the common sense of a bowl of pudding realizes it won't work in real life.
