If he represented himself as an engineer or engineering expert in a legal proceeding, well, that’s where he may have made a mis-step. Even if it’s on behalf of his son.
Maybe, he should have prefaced every sentence with IANAE, but…
- morelisp 5y agoThe fact it's his son makes it looks even more like testimony from convenience rather than professional consideration.
- chiph 5y agoThat's what he did (mentioned in the article). He prefaced his testimony with that he was not a licensed engineer but had worked in the industry for many years. A better question would be whether he had done piping & fluids vs. another civil engineering specialty such as bridge design.
- carlmr 5y agoI think this preface should be enough, he didn't claim to be something he isn't.
