Typical engineer spotted.

I don't think that's engineer so much as lazy bureaucrat in power. It's the mentality Douglas Adams made fun of with the "Your planet is being destroyed, you had plenty of time to read the posted notice".

How dare we read documents before we put technology into use.

Like asking a bridge engineer to know the spec of his bolts.

  • And if every purchaser of said bolts implemented them incorrectly, is it more likely that your specs, docs, or bolt design are faulty? Or do you just think no it’s everyone else who is stupid?

    • Except in this case the vast majority of people have read the docs and then gone on to implement them correctly.

      I’m sorry that you wrote buggy code because you didn’t read. But it’s the height of arrogance to assume that because you did, everyone else surely must have as well.
