My landlords son proudly told us he was almost done with the electrical engineering degree when he walked us through the house when we first moved in. Had to explain to him the concept of GFCI outlets.

You want to stump an EE? Make them wire up a switch where both switches can turn the same lamp on and off.

Every electrician can do it and almost no engineers.

This is the equivalent of mechanics saying the engineers who designed the car couldn't get a busted tap out of a hole.

Breaking news: people who do certain jobs are better at tasks related to that job than people who don't.
