I think that some times folks do things out of the lack of understanding and others out of expediency. Which ever way, that is just stupid.
On the other hand, and to change the subject, does anyone (without looking it up) know what a Cotter Pin is? The object in question is not a Cotter Pin, devices like that are commonly called Hair Pin Clips or Cotter Clips but it is not a Cotter Pin which is the common name for a Cotter Key.
Not being a smart *SS, just an old guy with a German father who was an engineer and insisted on using correct mechanical names, some of which I have retained.
