Sounds like he was a conscientious designer with an intuition for usability. I can relate to him, I also analyze screws and designs of trivial things. Is this really the optimal screw for this sort of task? If you didn't want this level of analysis, why the hell would you take a $150/hr engineer and have him screwing in shelves rather than call in the $12/hr maintenance man? I know the answer already. Your company thinks it is saving money by not having janitorial or secretarial staff and just have the engineers do all the menial cleaning and shelving tasks.
