my experience with engineers is they are generally not brilliant and do not see things that are obvious to other people.  maybe this because they are getting their education just for the job and they have no real interest.  i've also worked with engineers who just like to tinker around and play but don't produce results.

at my old job we had to hire an old retired engineer to come up with a fix for complicated issue.  it was a magnet. it worked better than every other application they tried.
