It's not engineers, but architects... and they do far worse than
programmers (but programmers cheat: they have a compiler).

Nah, not really. The first building succumbing to a woodpecker would
prompt new building designs to use solid cast iron rather than wood.

Which would create new problems, like buildings sinking into the ground
and stuff, or multi-storey buildings collapsing under their own weight,
but the woodpecker issue would be solved...


Actually, if architects designed buildings the way computer programmers
write software, buildings would be subject to destruction from /termite
infestation/, or being blown away by a hurricane...

... oh, wait...!

/Now/ I understand what Americans mean when they say that a house was
"built to code"...!
