Sounds a lot like the "brother-in-law" effect... When I was in Naval Aviation Electronics school years (decades?) ago, we were going over a circuit schematic and noticed that it used way more diodes than was really needed to do the job. The instructor said it was a result of the "brother-in-law effect." Yeah, the circuit designer's brother-in-law manufactured diodes. Dave
