I think your analogy misses the point that a core scope of engineering is reducing cost. Firing a weapon in a crowded area is not a scope of anybody, bar terror

I think your analogy misses the point that a core scope of engineering is reducing cost. Firing a weapon in a crowded area is not a scope of anybody, bar terrorists. If Bob would be a humanitarian terrorist, him firing the gun in a crowded area and not hitting anyone would be a great outcome for him, even if he didn't hit anybody just by chance.
- ordu 7y ago> a core scope of engineering is reducing cost. A core scope of engineering is to make technologies to make life of people better without killing them. To reduce cost is a one of instrumental goals helping business to do more than it might have done without it. To risk someone's life is a very bad idea, even if it increases profits.
