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?
