Can you imagine somebody swaggering around bragging that Architecture!!! It is a typical and everyday occurrence for an architect to brag that he is not an engineer (typically put as "not JUST an engineer!"), I assume with the implication that the architect adds "artistic" value to the "merely technical" role of the civil engineer. I don't think this is the sense in which Dan is speaking, though. -- Alex Martelli - CAD.LAB s.p.a., v.
