Now replace “PE” with “CEO” and you have the same dynamic, which is what the previous post was trying to point out.

The question is about who has an ethical duty to the public and how to hold them accountable as such. I’m not sure why it applies only to one group when there’s a reasonable precedent that engineers also have an ethical duty to the public.

In aerospace, the engineers that have responsibility are called delegates, or DERs. It's a step above a PE, but your comment still applies.
