Engineers do feel that way. Next week, I am taking the funeral of a retired US Army aeroengine, engineer who served in Vietnam. His widow told me how sometimes they were pressured to sign off a machine quickly but unless he had checked everything - no signature. He knew that if anything went wrong he would have to carry that for all of his life. Not to mention that they would present his signature as proof that the machine was ready.
He worried that newer and younger engineers would not be able to stand up to the pressure from above. Not much changes.
It's very rare for a prang to be 'simple'. If a light single goes in, it might be simple but something like G-ARPI was not simple.
