Yes but ... engineers can always find something else to do to improve a product or system. Unfortunately, when nobody tells them to stop they'll just keep on improving it, continually adding to the R&D costs with no end in sight. There is always something to tweak, something to change until you realize that there is an even better way to do things and you start with a whole new clean sheet design and start the process over again (to engineers, this is known as 'fun' ). Keep paying an engineer, and he'll keep tinkering. Actually, he'll probably keep tinkering for a while after you stop paying him.
