    I know who, but, engineers should not be a politician, IMHO.

    Engineers are trained to be factual and precise. Engineers can not lie.

      I noticed that you didn't answer the question.
      Is that a form of prevarication?

        ah ha!

        Prevarication is when someone tells a lie, especially in a sneaky way. ... While the noun prevarication is mostly just a fancy way to say "lie," it can also mean skirting around the truth, being vague about the truth, or even delaying giving someone an answer, especially to avoid telling them the whole truth.

        At face value, not so well.

        He gave us high inflation as I started in my first job and home prices were flying.

        I started working in 1976 and was not able to buy a house until 1979 and by that time, home prices in Houston went up a lot.

        I know who, but, engineers should not be a politician, IMHO.

        my answer skirted the question, but, it is to illustrate the point precisely.

        Is that a form of prevarication?

        yes.

        The straight answer was - terrible! He gave us high inflation and high interest rates.

            there's a difference between the world 'can' and 'should'.
            I am presently engaged in a project which involves two structural (foundation) engineering companies.
            one represents the seller.
            one represents the buyer.
            you reckon they are both saying the same thing?

              there's a difference between the world 'can' and 'should'.

              Agreed.

              I do not get your question:

              you reckon they are both saying the same thing?

              engineering reports should be correct and same within engineering standards.

              However, the representatives of each company will use the engineer's reports to their companies benefits where the economics, risk, and profitability comes into the picture.

              So, saying the "same things"? - engineering reports (yes, within limits) or the business proposals (no)?

                  In reverse, you will not want a politician or economist to be the pilot of your flight.
                  "Close enough" will kill ya.
