Concrete expression
Engineer B demonstrated professional integrity by insisting on notifying Engineer A before proceeding with the peer review, refusing to allow the Owner's preference for secrecy to override an independent professional obligation.
Confidence

Interpretation
Professional integrity requires engineers to act from internalized professional values rather than client pressure. Engineer B's insistence on notification, despite client reluctance, reflects the kind of character-based professional conduct that integrity demands.
Tension resolution
Engineer B correctly treated the notification obligation as a matter of professional integrity that could not be waived by client instruction, and the Owner ultimately accepted this position.
