@Possiblydrew and not just legal… PROFESSIONAL! Engineers get courses, are tested and trained that **They are certifying that XYZ is proper**. Codebases from the 1970s get wrapped in other code but not altered because They have a body of past work.
Infrastructure doesn’t collapse expressly because we build this way.
… this shit hurts my soul.

@Possiblydrew I avoided saying law, but all (hand waves) *THIS* is a legal wrapper around what Engineers do. Just like the profession of Doctor has a fierce legal infrastructure wrapping what they do.
