Reminds me of something from a few months ago:

Someone on r/HomeNetworking cursed whoever invented the RJ45 connector, and in the comments, Richard Benett, vice-chair of the first IEEE 802.3 task group that wrote a standard around RJ-45-style connector, appears and offers to take the blame.

That led to this short documentary: "TWISTED: The dramatic history of twisted-pair Ethernet" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8PP5IHsL8Y
