hey guys i think simon iron lung being an engineer/mechanic adjacent in every wrong way possible DOES make sense, actually!!!!!! Because he was a part of the convict realization program that the coi put convicts through as a form of rehabilitation; which involves doing repairs and maintenance and construction
he knows how to do things he just doesnt know the words for any of them and hes not gonna read a manual about it and he also doesnt use the proper safety gear for it bc the coi never cared enough to spare those resources for convicts . hes crossing wires together with his bare hands and doesnt hesitate to do it because he actually doesnt know the sparks are gonna Get Him but hes done this work before with less preparation
my credentials are that i watched the movie three times, took 8 hours for one rewatch to comb through it in gross detail with my partner, then took literally two days to watch it a third time with them to comb thru it in gross detail even More with the digital release And i have watched the iron lung gameplays multiple times over
