I think using that as a basis for this conclusion is wrong. Software changes a lot because it’s possible and “CHEAP” to do so compared to engineering in the meat world. This is a business pressure/decision. If companies can easily and cheaply modify bridges arbitrarily, I believe they will; and this wouldn’t have any bearing on whether it’s engineering.

This is exactly my point: Most swans are white, doesn’t mean all swans are white.
