2) if you're like me just now trying this going "oh god i've only done 15 and i think my hands are cramping" start lower than 30 and increase by 5 once whatever number you're doing no longer makes your hand cramp up. I can manage about 15 per exercise at the moment.

Not because whoever originally came up with the Secunit standard specs didn't want them to be imposing looking, necessarily, but because they are canonically cheap and built by the lowest bidder and you cannot tell me that a bunch of corporate beancounters would actually make those constructs 6'4" or whatever when they could make the maintenance cubicles and transport containers marginally smaller, and make the material costs of the cheap armor they're mass producing slightly lower, and save a very small amount of money on shipping costs every rental and so on, and make sure that if a situation ever requires putting one into an evac suit / enviro suit that they do not have to waste money ordering special models. I can't see them going "But if it's taller it can see over a crowd more easily" when they're designed to interface with security cameras and drones anyway" if they can be cheap bastards instead.

I do think that last point, though, despite Muir putting that exact sentiment in the mouth of a fan-favorite character, has managed to elude certain segments of the fandom, somehow.
