Electrical engineer: fuck it make the wire thicker I'm not checking voltage drop again.
That's the kind of reaction almost every kind of engineer would have. But also, some sympathy for the rocket people that can't afford to make measurements irrelevant.

Or "Fuck it, I bet there's enough slack in there that I can pull it out a few more centimeters, I just have to pull really hard."

Nooooo that's why you have the new guys go get the wire stretcher
