It is funny you should say this, I too thought the same thing as I was always tasked to repair engineers designs so they could make the modifacation.

I realise now their task was important but so was mine.

The same could be said all round from the scientist to the engineer. They are all needed in one way or another only the balance and the recognision of effort are not shown.

This could also lead to the thought of the importance of all parties. Remembering that Newton, Einstein and many others are mostly theorist and it is their theory that have led us to the develpment of technolgies that we enjoy today.

Politicians on the other hand need to cater for all people and despite there sometimes useless decisions they need to cater for all people (Artist to Scientist) and 4 years into the future.
