I bet they were designers once, then they got promoted to the politicking + conference circuits. I hope they were happy flying in their concoctions.
A tad unfair - speaking as a 'spec writer'!

I was a systems engineer throughout my career, working on Fly-by-Wire flight control systems. We were responsible at the system level, but computers, actuators, sensors etc. were supplied to our specifications by companies who specialised in such items. We certainly didn't just write specifications and then toss them over the wall, joint discussions ended up in specs acceptable to all parties.
