That's totally besides the point.

The idea here is that no engineer would knowingly sign off on something bad.

A rather optimistic idea, I'd contend.

I concur, in fact, how many IT professionals make bad SECURITY decisions because they in fact are trained to build and maintain an working infrastructure first and foremost.

Which is a silly assertion

Nothing I said implies engineers don't make bad decisions. What I implied is even the GOOD decisions can be overruled by any MBA at any time.

Perfect is the enemy of good.
