An engineer has been involved in the design of many large reservoir spillways for flood control and water-supply dams. The engineer attends a workshop on the subject and based on the material presented, deduces that he has not been applying the design concepts correctly. After the workshop, he does some calculations and determines that, while almost all of his past design projects are safe, two spillways may not pass the design discharge that was required. He believes that the dams are safe for the moment, but he believes that they could fail for some floods smaller than the design flood. He recognizes that if he makes it known that the two projects are underdesigned, his reputation will be tarnished, and his company will be responsible for costly retrofitting of the two spillways.
