I think that's because you're focusing on a component, and not the whole. The construction project had a problem, and part of that is because they trusted the expertise of designers. Various people in charge of aspects of the project should have pushed back harder, noting that the expertise they were relying on was obviously false, since it didn't match reality. The problem is not the computers, but the designers, and the expertise in question is that of "trust your designers". The story and moral plays out the same whether it's a computer, or some bad math, or even purposeful sabotage. Funnily enough, it might be possible to attribute your focus on the engineers as an aspect of priming itself. Even if you aren't an engineer or in a related discipline, this forum is very heavily frequented by such people and often focuses on such issues. As such, focusing so much on the engineers themselves and what they did or didn't do to the point if missing the whole can be expected. Well, it can be expected if you accept that priming plays a role, at least to some degree.
