Phil,
I think I understand your point. I think I can live with it.
However, I never studied philosophy.

The problem with this argument is the dichotomy of choice. The contrast
between art and science was introduced into philosophical discussion several
hundred years ago.
Today, the discussion might better be divided into three categories: Art,
Engineering, Science with the recognition that many things real or imagined may
include parts from all.

I strongly disagree. How many compromises were made to pull this off. You may
use the laws of physics and math to design something, but unlike physics or
math, engineering is not as precise. that means there are judgment calls made
by design engineers. Physicists make judgemet call also, but only in data
interpretation and not design. Sorry you couldn't be more wrong.

EE is an art and not science
That is NOT even slightly true. ART did not put us on the moon or build the
Mars rovers. Engineering is the thoughtful application of scientific principles
and knowledge to solve practical problems. Without science as a base, it's
little more than the infinite number of monkeys and typewriters producing
Shakespeare. Nearly all practical designs involve some compromises. Great
engineering is selecting (sometimes innovating) those solutions which work well
for the particular problem at hand.
