Imagine being a civil engineer, and your boss says "how much concrete did you use? I'll pay you to use more."

Or an electrical engineer: "How many resistors did you solder? I want them all gone."

Or an aeronautical engineer: "What does the plane weigh? I was expecting a few more tons."

Or a traffic engineer: "Why haven't you put more stop lights in?"

Or a mechanical engineer: "More gears!"

Always hard to get the bean counters to appreciate elegance.
