it's a shockingly bad metaphor for software development.

I used to work for a top5 consulting engineer - architects some times just do the very high level design the consulting engineers actually turn this into a practicable design which is then built by the contractors and the navvy's.

And I am sure that my dept boss Dr Shair (one of the pioneers of the cable stay bridge design) would consider him self an engineer and not an architect
