Back in 2015, I had to choose between believing the official story about a local bridge collapse or a detailed alternative report from an engineer in Portland.

Yeah, read a piece once about how the official reports on some of these things can get... streamlined, let's say, for political reasons. That Portland engineer probably saw details the state report glossed over.

Man, I'd trust the engineer every time.

Trusting the engineer every time is a bit too broad. A good engineer knows the theory, but a great mechanic has seen a thousand real world failures. I've seen engineers spec parts that look perfect on paper but can't handle road salt or vibration. You need both sides to build something that lasts.
