The black and white version would be that engineer is the person that designs, builds and maintains machines. Not the guy that operates them. You wouldn't call your grandmother an "engineer" because she is operating her computer. Or every car driver, blender/toaster oven user.

Granted, there's the grey area where the operation of the machine is impossible without an intricate knowledge of the machine's design and/or the theory behind it; in those cases you need an engineer to operate it. But in most cases a technician is enough

Let the engineers do actual engineering and the world will be a better place.

Since... ever?

From Wikipedia's entry on fascism:

Italian Fascists described fascism as a right-wing ideology in the political program The Doctrine of Fascism, stating: "We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the 'right,' a fascist century.".[41][42] The majority of scholars generally consider fascism to be on the far right.[43][38][39][40]
