+1 I would go a little farther. Certain market/MBA/investor types see engineering as a "risk" to which a business case has to be formed and accepted. PR et al is considered "damage control", and sometimes gets lumped in with advertising and such. The Powers That Be think "going to the mat" is a more sure way to protect their profits, bonus, and jobs than risking their life on the actions of those weird, hard-to-control propeller-heads.
