Case context
The waterfront development presents genuine competing public goods: environmental improvement through industrial-to-parkland conversion versus adverse traffic, noise, and air pollution impacts on City X residents. Engineer A presents only the environmental benefits side.

Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A faced a tension between the competing public goods of environmental improvement (industrial-to-parkland conversion) and public welfare impacts (traffic, noise, air pollution) — the question of whether Engineer A was obligated to explicitly acknowledge and address this conflict in the public hearing presentation, or whether the relevance-and-pertinence standard permitted selective emphasis on the environmental benefits.
