Well hundreds of years of bridge disasters, fatalities and some times bad poetry [https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/tay-bridge-dis...] is a harsh teacher.

I wonder how long it will be before we can 3-D print a dam in place.

I mean, the novel of 3d printing is that it's just additive construction, don't we already build dams and almost all other structures that way already?
A crane is just a bigger print arm :)

Yes, but the dream is to build physical things, just with software.
You type in your commands and then magic happens and something is build (after a while). Nothing to be done by hand (ideally)
But I would love to play with a fully automated remote controlled printer the size of an crane, though.
But then there should probably be no humans around.

You have a point :)
But really I'm pretty sure if for example civil engineers could build a bridge in an hour and load it up consequence-free they'd do it too.
The fact that we do it isn't bad at all, but yeah it's easy to not realize when you've exited the realm of consequence-free testing.
