Total agreement Chuck, as I said I was not knocking Civil Engineers in general. Thomas sure didn't apply any of that ability in this instance though, his Conclusion was utterly ridiculous. Perhaps they get a lot more training in those fields today than when Thomas was schooled.

Simply stating one has been schooled in the highest field of Mathematics for instance doesn't impress me a lot if they say that 2+2 = 22.

Thomas simply made a big deal over this & didn't even have the facts to base his decision on. Certainly not something any "Wise Engineer" would do regardless of his field,
