I'd say Au contraire, but some engineers feel what they know is all-inclusive AND still know far less than thought. Like product development guys who can't write an inspection sequence, and specify inadequate instruments.
I have certificates but no related degrees; yet who is their best buddy time comes to bail them out? It's karma, and they HATE that.
