Think of it however you'd like to. You're entitled to your opinion. But we're not saying these things from a place of arrogance. I'm not claiming we're better that civil engineers, or that our job is harder. Maybe you're reading it that way, but I'm trying to assert that such a comparison cannot be made. It's neither easier nor harder, and it's both. The two endeavours are just not comparable. Civil engineers work with real, physical, tangible things. Hardware, so to speak. We work with ... software. Soft. Ware. The modes are entirely different, and thus the universe of challenges. I wouldn't compare painting to songwriting, even if they're both art. But if you go up to a painter and talk to them exclusively using songwriting analogies and when they tell you that doesn't make sense and you plug your fingers into your ears and yell "Arrogant!" in their face ... well, you're entitled to you opinions and apples are still not the same things as oranges.
