> Tough luck, buddy. Engineering is about precision, science, math

Which is why software development, even if the field has decided to grace itself with the title of "Engineering", just isn't that. Say what you will, Software development is NOT about science and math the same way that civil engineering is. Otherwise, we'd have loads more data handbooks and ISO norms that we have a legal requirement to fulfill.
