Totally agree. I have seen semi-technical (or non-technical) executives assume that engineers are virtually interchangeable. They questioned the value of hiring top-talent instead of multiple entry level engineers. In this case, an army of entry level engineers could not address the rocket science that really requires a career of deep domain experience to tackle.

Yeah, people need to understand that engineers are essentially inventors. No number of average ones will replace a Thomas Edison or Linus Torvalds.
