Is a single qualified mechanical engineer equal to God?  Did this engineer
achieve 100% on every one of his/her exams from a respected college?  Can
a lot of faith be placed in a single engineer's calculations.  Would it be
a better idea to compare the answers from say three independent engineers
and see if they agree, PE stamp or not?
