text: First of all, as the first commenter says, the owner would be puzzled why a structural engineer has such strong opinions about electrical wiring. ;-) Second of all, a sane person would try to determine - regardless of the "sign" of the expert's testimony - whether the structural engineer's opinion was trustworthy and based on objective expertise or whether it was driven by some other interests, for example the profit for his or her company. Related: A fresh interview with Steven Chu about the Day After Tomorrow (in reality), how he wants things to be bad (but not awful) - talk about a wishful thinking, and why architects should paint roofs white so that air-conditioning may be reduced (much like the intensity of light bulbs) and the Earth is cooled down - wow! ;-) Thanks to Willie Soon. Also, a sane person would pretty quickly discard the first recommendation because it came from a woman, as Chu proudly told us. Only about 15% of structural engineers are women and 70% of those got to the field because of affirmative action (before this movement began to be intense 15 years ago, there were about 5% of women in that field), so there is clearly something suspicious going on here, if the first catastrophic testimony comes from such an unexpected source.
