I'll second that!  Not to pick on MEs, but years ago I was a pretty new 
employee and was sent to talk to a senior ME about a design review 
issue.  He evidently wanted to make sure I knew the pecking order as 
when I pointed out a problem in a prototype housing, he assured me that 
the drawing was fine.  I asked if he had  a prototype so I could try to 
assemble it, and he said "See now, that's the difference between us and 
you sparkie types.  We don't spend half our time messing around in a lab 
with prototypes, we just *think* things out".

It was my pleasure a few days later to take him a prototype that 
couldn't be put together so he could *think* up an ECO to fix it!
