Hard · Passage: author's main message
Read the following passage and answer the item that follows. Your answer to this item should be based on the passage only.
"A technology may be judged by whether it works, and that judgement is the engineer's to make. Whether it should be built at all, and who carries the loss when it fails, are questions of a different kind, and no amount of technical skill settles them. A committee composed only of those who built a thing will ask whether it is sound; it is unlikely to ask whom it is sound for. The remedy is not to remove the engineers, whose knowledge nobody else has, but to seat beside them people whose training is in weighing consequences that cannot be measured on a bench."
Which one of the following statements best reflects the most rational, logical and practical message conveyed by the passage?
