Obvious and reasonable, maybe -- irrelevant and distracting, yes.

Distracting from what? There was never any expectation of serious discussion in this thread.

If I wasn't feeling so lazy I would post 6 or 7 posts about the ethics of engineers and how it relates to this situation. Let's just pretend I did.

Are you seriously too dense to recognize the huge overlap between tax advice and legal advice, which is amply evidenced by some reciprocal parts of curricula, some mirrored provisions in the ABA and AICPA ethical codes, the huge number of lawyers in tax practice, and the countless prosecutions of so-called "tax advisors" for unlicensed practice of law? Engineering's about a galaxy away from both. In fact the analogy's so ridiculous that I'm now 100% certain you're trolling, but I just don't care.
