I’ve seen too many times engineers with no mechanical aptitude rely on software.

I deal with them all the time. They have never built anything themselves. They have never touched a welder, wrench, shovel.
They only know what their computer tells them. They are taught by professors who have never touched a tool or been outside.
I had a small open structure go down in a micro burst a few years ago. They all blamed me. I explained that it was built according to the engineered specifications. Every step was inspected by engineers. It was signed off by engineers.
I told them the design was wrong and the anchor bolts were too small. I told them if they changed it a little bit the wind wouldn’t catch it so much. I was told the computer models show the roof with its funky design was capable of withstanding those winds. What did they do? Rebuilt it the exact same way.
