I've always found it a bit odd. When is that determination made exactly? As an engineer the things I'm "right" about are often meaningless. When shit's started to really hit the fan and we're busy putting put production fires nobody cares. But for some perverse reason people still remember the architecture astronaut who devised said mess as being right. And I'm the one who's not a team player and just being difficult. I think this one's for the managers and "rockstar" engineers.
