Some of the comments here claim this is just showing how engineers think they are the only smart ones, or how there's equal frustration pointed back at engineers.

However, this is illustrating a particular problem that only[2] affects engineers -- engineers are the ones at the end of the day who have to make a solution reality. This particular weight doesn't fall on any other role. It's easy for anyone, including engineers, to misjudge a problem when simply talking about it. This makes non-technical meetings about technical problems particularly difficult.

But yes, it's true, every role has stereotypical flaws, and it's healthy to be able to laugh at them[1].

[2, edit to address comments]: Only affects engineers, of all the roles in a work pipeline involving engineering.
