I guess, what with your mechanical engineering classes you allegedly
took, they forgot to tell you that any hole drilled in a structural
member will weaken said structural member. Thus, holes from the
factory are taken into account when designing that member. Drilling
holes that were NOT planned for in the design of the member can
significantly weaken the member enough to compromise it's structural
integrity.
