You're backtracking. You claimed an engineer's work is deterministic and fully under his or her control. That may be true for a very limited subset of jobs, where engineers are doing essentially trivial tasks, but more generally, that is false. Are engineers less likely to be held accountable for missing goals due to external factors? That depends on the organization, but that's an entirely different claim.
