I want the airplane I am about to board to be flown by a real pilot.

Do you want the plane designed by a brilliant engineer or 100 people who are really good at memorizing engineering questions?

That makes for a snazzy answer but we should probably consider how planes are actually engineered.

Brilliant engineers don’t make safe planes. It’s actually teams with a culture of excellence and quality.

There is no standardized methodology in SE as of 2022 that has anything resembling actual science as it’s basis, or we would certainly have thrown out LC interview hazing by now.

Your comparison is inaccurate. You might as well rail against non-conservatory musicians who taught themselves to play.
