The great liability of the engineer compared to men of
other professions is that his works are out in the open
where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in
hard substance. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave
like the doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or
blame the judge like the lawyers. He cannot, like the
architects, cover his failures with trees and vines. He
cannot, like the politicians, screen his shortcomings by
blaming his opponents and hope that the people will
forget.
