There’s a joke in there somewhere about changing horses mid stream. But alas, it is intuitively small. So I will abandon this humor ship mid stream. In before someone retorts ‘that ferry never left the shoreline.’

Well, whatever floats their boat.

I'm an engineer and it's damn right to change horses in midstream. The owner was extremely diligent in going the added distance in having a 3rd party review. I've been on both sides of this and no doubt, it decreases the occurrence of error.

Engineers are not perfect. I have done lots of process designs for example but will not go past a certain point in the process without a reviewer. I will go further in the process if there is a formal QA/QC procedure to work within. There is still a line though that I stop at. Other experts need to step in to review in detail and tweak where necessary. Typically, I will have the full range of detail engineers reviewing and expanding on my process design. Again, typically I will be a reviewer of their work to assure that the process intents are carried forward. The 3rd party review is a normal part of the give and take.
