Yeah, great until you get a phone call asking for why 0.125 steel was
chosen for such and such a part and whether it would be possible, based
upon previous trade studies whether substituting 0.130 aluminum would work
in order to meet weight specifications. But, you, as the designer were
forced to throw out those files 6 months ago. End result -- the trade
studies get to be redone.

Engineering studies are cheaper than lawsuits; however, engineering
documents were exempt.

Last time I check, engineers don't bill out at $500/hr + expensesG.

Only commercial documents were involved.
