Might be a tough pill for some, but ultimately I agree it's the way the industry needs to end up. Consider the architect; he doesn't get to blue-sky wild ass concepts for a building. He has to draw within boundaries of local codes and feasibility, often using technical tools such as CAD.

An architect doesn't need to know how to tie rebar, though. That's more what the other commenter is suggesting.
