One other funny (correlates with the bread and butter law): on the fan-out
units which we have the connector has to be pushed upwards to lock. From
then on some evil force (Isaac Newton had a word for it!) is constantly
trying to unlock it again, and each slight movement helps this evil force.
Oh, how simple it would have been to invert the connector.

The force is against you!
