Surgeons and Engineers can be some arrogant bastages.
As a structural drafter for over 30 years, I have worked with a whole LOT of engineers and a bunch of architects too... of the two, as a group, it is NOT the engineers that are arrogant.
“Surgeons and Engineers can be some arrogant bastages.”
They need to be. My daughter was an engineer at a nuclear power plant. You need people to stand up and push back to make sure the right thing gets done.
There should have been more arrogant and bastard behavior by engineers when Challenger blew up. They might have prevented the disaster.
