God isn't gonna bend the laws of physics for architecture's sake. Also we've done dumber.

i want to say bad engineers, but no discredit to them because they didn't have much theory to work with. its impressive they got that far, i can barely build a sandcastle

The engineers used a longer reference unit. Also the cathedral used to have a spire at the crossing which collapsed too. At that point it was the tallest building ever.
It's pretty impressive today, been there last year, the only thing preventing it from collapsing are these huge wooden beams.
But yeah, Beauvais cathedral gets way little credit as far as French architecture goes.
