Situation A: Structural engineer follows laymen's modifications to accepted practice that results in a building that is substandard - bad idea. we agree.

Situation B: Structural engineer follows laymen's modifications to code that enforce a stricter (and therefore safer) set of rules - may cost more, but clearly not unsafe and clearly not the engineer's place to do anything other than to explain the potential cost ramifactions of the stricter standard. Not sure if you will agree to this, but it seems to make sense from my seat.

Situation C: Supervisor of a league mandates a rule interpretation in the interest of player safety and enjoyment of the game of basketball. Kids involved are getting their very first basketball experience, trying to decide if this is a game they want to play. Coach is clearly employing an intimidation tactic well outside the spirit of the rules of basketball, but not specifically illegal. His tactic does nothing positive for anybody involved, and jeopardizes player safety and the personal enjoyment of at least half of the participants. You clearly disagree that a modification of little kid rec rules in interest of fairness, safety, and enjoyment is a bad idea, when a ref with any sense would have implemented a personal interpreaion on the spot to eliminate this activity. Why you oppose this will remain a puzzle in my eyes.

Situation D: The next time the family goes to Nags Head or Ocean City I’ll be sure to hire a structural engineer to build the sandcastles.
