Properties
Instance of
AdversarialEngagementObjectivityObligation
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#AdversarialEngagementObjectivityObligation
Applied to
Technical study comparing route X and route Y
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
Engineer A, retained by citizens opposing route X, must nonetheless conduct the route comparison objectively and completely — presenting the technical merits and limitations of both routes — rather than producing a one-sided advocacy document that suppresses information favorable to route X.
Confidence
0.86
Importance
high
Interpretation
The fact that Engineer A's client has a clear preference for route Y does not permit the engineer to omit material technical information that might support route X; the engineer's professional obligation to objective technical analysis persists in adversarial or advocacy contexts.
Invoked by
Engineer A Citizen-Retained Highway Route Alternative Engineer
Tension resolution
Objectivity obligation constrains but does not eliminate client loyalty; Engineer A may emphasize findings favorable to route Y while remaining obligated not to suppress material adverse technical information.
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A concludes that route Y would be a superior route.
Text references
