Also there is this far too common thing that experts in one field suddenly think they are experts in everything. I saw some of the most absurd takes from engineers, how this person can be so smart and so dumb at the same time? I think they get hyper confident in their own “gut feeling” which in their field is supported by years of experience and all the knowledge in the world but in other fields it is just their anecdotal experience and bias.
I’m not sure why the author chose this sentence and why you are picking it out. The author provided no evidence of it. Instead, when you read on it seems to be an ownership problem. People rotating in and out for a year on a ten year project. You can be the most competent and skilled worker, if you don’t get the opportunity to become invested in the success of a project, of course you won’t see the project become successful.
So they’re bad engineers for the given task.
