This kind of thing is what makes some software engineers think they can solve problems or have an informed opinion about almost any other field :) Sure there are experts in every field who really know their stuff, but 95%+ of the people we run into day-to-day just aren't that good at their job and don't pay much attention to what they are doing. So with a bit of research, experimentation, and logic, we can figure out stuff that should be other people's job that they can't seem to do. (... but the average software engineer probably isn't any better ;)
