Properties
Instance of
Applied to
Engineer B's post-occupancy inspection report on plumbing and heating systems
Balancing with
Honest Disagreement Among Qualified Engineers Permissibility Principle
Professional Dignity
Concrete expression
Engineer A alleged that Engineer B's inspection report was not objective and did not include all pertinent information, invoking the objectivity standard as the basis for a board complaint
Confidence
0.93
Importance
high
Interpretation
In this context, objectivity requires that Engineer B's report present all material technical findings without self-serving selectivity; however, the report's acknowledgment that plumbing was adequate while identifying heating inadequacies suggests Engineer B did apply objective assessment rather than uniformly adverse critique
Invoked by
Engineer A Professional Reputation Complaint Filer
Tension resolution
The objectivity principle cuts against Engineer A's complaint: Engineer B's report was balanced (finding no plumbing problem while identifying heating inadequacies), suggesting objective rather than self-serving assessment
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A thereafter filed a complaint with the state engineering registration board alleging that Engineer B had acted improperly in that the report was not objective and did not include all pertinent information
Text references
Engineer A thereafter filed a complaint with the state engineering registration board alleging that Engineer B had acted improperly in that the report was not objective and did not include all pertinent information
The report noted there was no problem with the design of the plumbing system, but concluded there were design inadequacies in the original sizing of the equipment for hot water and heating.
