This analogy breaks down when you actually think about its real-world applications. Structural engineers are held at criminal fault if a bridge they signed off on collapses. Ok, now why do we have the bridge in the first place? Because city planning segregated residential and commercial zones across a body of water. And who was responsible for that decision? The city planning council? So if a bridge collapses and hundreds of people die you put the blame on the politician who signed off on zoning laws, instead of the engineer who designed a broken bridge?
