> "it was in the requirements" is not a "get out of jail card" How do you define objectively as an engineer if "play MP3" is too much? A doorbell is a sound outputting device only, being able to select the sound seems like a reasonable extension. Is a digital doorbell overengineered when analog electric ones worked just fine for almost 2 centuries? Or were these overengineered when mechanical doorbells worked for many more centuries before? What if I attach a light to the doorbell, is that over engineering? Or are you just fighting to save face after missing the point completely and making that tasteless Nurnberg trial parallel?
