LOL, yes we all know that.
That's why almost all the posts in this thread have been tongue in cheek, friendly pokes and not at all serious.
The original premise was so utterly silly that the only thing to do was have fun with it.
Anyone who would think that there might actually be a link would be ridiculed severely.
We all realize that in order to build a good bomb you have to have a certain intelligence and skill and engineers usually possess those types of understanding and skills and intelligence.
You need something developed and designed? that's what engineers do, so you'd ask an engineer.
You certainly wouldn't ask someone who has never actually designed or built anything in his or her entire life, would you?
