What? That’s a very different situation than what I was talking about with software development. I thought I pretty clearly outlined the core of what it means to be an engineer- Custodians aren’t doing engineering work. As you said, that doesn’t make the role less important or less deserving of dignity.
Just calling someone an engineer because it sounds better is silly and demeans both the actual role and the work that engineers do.
Yeah the explanation was fine but the “What? That’s a very different situation” seemed unnecessarily hostile. But maybe it just have my panties in a bunch today, it could be me

It is more useful to explain why something is wrong
