Let me clarify for you ... there is a huge difference between not over
engineering something and not engineering anything at all. Basing a
decision solely upon experience falls into the category of not
engineering anything at all, and that includes ignoring force vector
formulas because your tower hasn't yet failed and not wearing a climbing
belt/harness because you haven't yet fallen.
