Inside those phone junction box thingys ( I believe that is the technical term) just looks like an explosion of wires. Obviously there will be a complex system in place but wow.

My mate was an engineer in the Royal Navy for 8 years, wiring up weapons systems, etc.
When he left he found he was colour blind

I worked on an explosives stock control system for the Royal Army of Oman
I accidentally reversed a mixing rule so that it required the binary explosive components to be stored in the same bin, rather than preventing it.

I like to use this example whenever anyone suggests cutting down on testing due to a project overrun.
