@daHob I think that makes their analytics suite an engineer.

I'm sure it takes less time and money than manufacturing them the old-fashioned way.

(Fertilizing an egg, feeding it for 18 years, pushing it through six years of a bachelor's degree, giving it an internship at a military contractor, and enrolling it in a professional organization.)
