I agree most "engineers" as with "investors" are inept and so don't deserve the title. They are complimentary skills though not mutually exclusive.
Here's the relevant quote right? I don't know about coding but don't need to either.
"This means that a great number of American businesses are quoted in liquidating value; that in the best recent judgment of Wall Street, these businesses are worth more dead than alive.
For most industrial companies should bring, in orderly liquidation, at least as much as their quick assets alone. Admitting that the factories, real estate, etc. could not fetch anywhere near their carrying price, they should still realize enough to make up the shrinkage in the proceeds of the receivables and merchandise below book figures. If this is not a reasonable assumption there must be something radically wrong about the accounting methods of our large corporations."
From my perspective you are arguing that the earth is flat. After a time I will give up pointing out that it is round - you are entitled to your point of view but respect is earned.
