It causes a failure because it is not according to the design. Who knows what happens when you start doing things differently? You're not supposed to add or remove wings and the tolerances should be as described. You don't need to understand the math involved to understand that when an engineer tells you something is important, you should probably listen.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to explain to someone who was genuinely curious as to how something might fail, that they shouldn't ask questions.
The line of discussion started out with a frankly confrontational tone and had so far not yielded incredibly interesting results. I read this question in the same tone when I probably shouldn't have, that's fair.
