My dad worked at Lockheed and in the 80s they joked they used JIC (just in case) manufacturing. They had so many parts without a clear reason as to why they created so many.

JIC! That's funny. It may sound like inefficiency, but really it is an option on future flexibility. Just like the big box of cables.
