If they did, they wouldn't need engineers.

But it's more of a division of labor I think.

It is the job of the scientist to discover a new idea. It is the job of an engineer to kill enough people to make the idea just safe enough to turn loose on the public.

Remember kiddies, scientific principles are written in ink. Engineering principles are very often written in blood.
