> He often carried a pair of wire clippers, and when he thought that one of his employees was "overengineering" a circuit, he would begin snipping components out until the picture or sound stopped working. At that point, he would tell the engineer "Well, I guess you have to put that last part back in" and walk away.[14]
Techmoan recently did a video "The story of the 4-Track Cart" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqoglkbe9sc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqoglkbe9sc covering most of Muntz life.
On a serious note this is a terrible practice and nowadays wont pass any EMC certification.
