+# Estimating Isn't Engineering
+
+A peer recently expressed frustration to me
+about the declining quality of construction drawings,
+specifically how scope is often ~~required but not detailed~~.
+
+%%
+TODO: discussion based on the difference between engineering,
+(which requires knowledge of subject matter)
+and estimation
+(which requires knowledge of ~~impact~~).
+%%
+
+It's not engineering to budget for the most likely case.
+
+Estimators need not know _why_ there tends to be ~~example~~,
+they need need only have basis for applying that generalization to another project.
