http://proethica.org/ontology/case/71#Engineer_B_Objective_Completeness_Violation
Definition
Engineer B's report to the municipality omitted the wave equation analysis showing the 19 piles had driven to essential refusal and would have met strength requirements by a substantial margin, and omitted the equipment failure during testing, presenting a one-sided technical picture.

Applied to
Concluding report submitted to municipality on pile foundation adequacy
Balancing with
Faithful Agent Duty Principle
Concrete expression
Engineer B's report to the municipality omitted the wave equation analysis showing the 19 piles had driven to essential refusal and would have met strength requirements by a substantial margin, and omitted the equipment failure during testing, presenting a one-sided technical picture.
Confidence
0.93
Interpretation
The principle required Engineer B to include all relevant and pertinent information in the report, including evidence that contradicted the conclusions being drawn. Selective omission of material technical data violates this principle regardless of whether the client requested its inclusion.
Tension resolution
The duty of loyalty to the retaining municipality does not override the obligation to include all pertinent technical information in a professional report.

Additionally, Engineer B did not report that the dynamic test equipment had failed.
Engineer B did not state anywhere in the report that these 19 piles, according to the pile driving records, had been driven to essential refusal and that, applying accepted wave equation calculations, the piles would have indicated a strength several multiples over the calculated load requirements.
