I directed an engineer to check something done in the field by a contractor to see if it was ok. Because it was an edge case not typically done, I said they had to do the check by hand as it would be easier.

They "knew better" and used a computer program instead.

The beam that was bending in the computer program was bending in a different direction than what the field issue was. All of their work was worthless.
