Nothing really bad happens for sure. The term engineer just looses its meaning, becoming a generic way to refer to someone doing… something. I like language that's precise, expressive, and succinct. If someone says they're a baker, I know what they do. If we start to apply that label to anyone working in a bakery, even if they just operate the coffee machine, that holds no longer true, and more explanations are needed, more opportunities for misunderstandings arise, things become less efficient and more error-prone. How can that be desirable?
