The impeded air flow is obvious but was the problem it would not even spin if horizontal?

It spun, it was just wasn't spinning at max ratings, and I wasn't getting stable RPMs.

"Do not lie flat on bench."
Maybe that could that have been interpreted to mean that while laying on a bench lay on your side or curled up? The manufacturer might have received complains from users having side hip pains and removed that instruction.

It wouldn't have occurred to me either

If you turn it over (still flat), does it turn into a hover craft?
Add collective control, and drive it around your bench.

A long time ago I managed a database group. One of my developers who I will say right now was female although in my mind was not relevant, had been fighting a problem in the code for days. She finally fixed it - something stupid/silly/why didn't I think of that before sort of thing. I thought it was pretty funny and appreciated her effort and struggle, because I have dozens of the same dang t-shirt in my attic.
I said, "yup, welcome to development..." and was almost taken to HR.
Good for you, and yeah that stuff happens. Debugging 101 - even if you wrote the code 10 years ago, don't assume you did it correctly. I just found a bug in a utility I wrote, and I have no idea how we ever shipped product.

Ha!, I think me being genderweird kind of insulates me from being subject to those sorts of HR complaints. If anything people tend to be more worried about me reporting them I think, but I never have. I'm pretty easy going, and anyway I don't believe in it because if it's a hostile work environment, what is HR going to do to change someone's behavior, especially when they can't change their motivations? If I'm not wanted somewhere or an environment is otherwise untenable I'll simply go somewhere I am and it isn't.

Or you are at least an accessory.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I kinda feel like it's investigating my own murder, but then you should see the situations I get myself into with code.

I hear ya, sometimes I look back at code I've wrote and wonder if I'm part Italian.

I like that. May I use it free of charge and without having to give reference?

Certainly, I was not the first to coin this phrase.

We used that term when I was a student 40+ years ago. And ever since.

My family hails from Poland (mostly), so I suppose I write meatloaf code - an undifferentiated mass full of unidentifiable bits and pieces.

It was a complicated murder. Lots of moving parts.

In my case, the murderer is dead and I'm the victim  .
I have to maintain a large body of code originally written by a guy who deliberately made it excruciating for anyone but himself to maintain. He did this in an effort to make himself indispensable. For over 20 years his supervision was terrified that he would leave.
[long story omitted]
He retired and passed away shortly thereafter. I inherited the great steaming pile left behind.

Not necessarily you. For whatever reason, I was thinking about my career today. Looking back, I was always put into the position to be the guy carrying the pager (back in those days), picking up abandoned/not working applications, etc.
IOW, being responsible for being aware of and fixing bugs/performance problems. While stressful, it made me a much better developer. In such positions, you're exposed to lots of different coding techniques; sometimes, it's "wow, that's a good idea, I should incorporate that more."
Of course, a lot of the time it's, "Wow. This person should be fired."
Some people's purpose in life is to serve as an example. Not necessarily positive.

Respect for detectives, that assume libraries are quite places where no murder can occur.

So is the project done and/or have you made progress?
