Answer by johnm
Engineers are often given the task of designing things in the course of development, ie. roads, bridges, appliances, electrical power, water, sewage systems. In the planning stages, they develop alternatives and estimate costs associated with each one. These alternatives are presented to management or politicians, who chose among the alternatives. Unfortunately, the lowest cost alternative is often chosen, impacting the public often years later. By then, the politicians are long gone, and there is no one to point the finger at.
