I can’t remember the exact quote, but Robert A. Heinlein said of the DC-3 that it was the best airplane ever built, and that the only way to improve it was to completely redesign it.
I just like the idea that some things are perfect the way they are.

I know Heinlein had his problems, but in highschool I loved his books.
The line is in ‘Glory Road,’ a great fantasy book that takes pretty much every fantasy trope and kicks it to the curb.
