There is however lots of thinsg wrong with teaching bad pregramming.

Whilst I agree with you to a certain extent about cars a less sinister
explanation is that cars *ARE* getting hideously compilcated with
variable valve timings and ECU chips. Whilst chaning your oil is not
hard or even changing the spark plugs there is a lot of potential to go
wrong. 

You could argue that irregular shaped bolts is an effort to save people
from themselves.
