... from knowing that such a small percentage of structural engineers (which are actually only a few dozen out of that 2409) are that irrational and incompetent. That means that if you needed the services of a structural engineer, there is only a very minute chance that you'd end up with one that dumb. Having an incompetent doctor is a far more serious problem.
