I think you're overreading the amateur architect angle. Presumably, they didn't say "Hi, Charlie Munger, please draw up a building for us on a napkin." It's in fact a barb that Munger is a non-practicing architect, and apparently ruffled feathers with the professional architect on the committee. Which, from working with some prima donna architects, I am both unsurprised and unsympathetic about. Building engineers ensure everything is to code. Architects fret about whether it looks and feels right. Some architects are good at making livable spaces, but an architecture degree doesn't guarantee that, and a lack of one doesn't preclude it.
