This is not the first instance of suggesting something like this. Look at the history of the ASCE and the AME which held very different views of engineering. ASCE more sticking to principle and the AME sticking more to business loyalty. Ultimately, there has been some happy medium reached. This has not existed and software and should. But the idealistic nature of the ASCE impacted most of the engineering fields even though it did not get it's way 100%. So you can call it idealistic and unreasonable, but a similar approach has worked to some degree.
