rationality is all relative
This architect blames it on the designer (read bossman) who designs with a fat sharpie Pen, then passes it on and says, make it work.
Of course the engineer always comes up with irrational reasons why it won't work the way the architect drew it and usually comes up with a less grand looking solution, to which the designer says "blah" as he pulls out his big sharpie to further modify it.
I'm not going to touch the excorcism topic in this venue though. What I believe would probably not go over too well among this crowd.
