There are a lot of good (and great) engineers out there. They just don't seek the spotlight. Most I've met prefer to work on interesting problems and once solved/implemented tend to move on to the next interesting problem. Most people not closely involved in the problem have no idea how good (or great) some of these people really are or how ingenious some of their solutions can be.
