Tho i would think what an engineer would testify about would be more objective than say a psychologist, or even medical doctors who can disagree on some ailments and treatments. How temperature and other stress factors, including improper use of something, might effect the efficiency/safety of equipment or structures???? (i'm guessing and asking.)

I don't know, maybe.

Even with engineering there can be different interpretations of the same data, and lots of uncertainty. Data sets are never as complete as you would like. The simple straight forward cases don't usually go to court... so no need for an expert witness.

That makes sense, that very simple ones wouldn't need to go to court. Thanks for responding.

Just like the real world people are embellishing if not lying about their resume and there is a bit of an over reliance on 'credentials' ie degrees, licenses, certifications etc. Along with the 'correct' opinions.
