To overbuild is never a crime


Overbuilt can cause a failure. For example, if something is designed and
built correctly, it will tend to show excessive deflections before failure,
providing a warning. Overbuilt things can fail spectacularly without
any warning. That could be a crime or at least expose you to a civil
lawsuit.


Uhhh .... howzat again? Seems to me that if it fails, then by definition it
was underbuilt, not over....
