Ask them if they know what SUPAC is and when they say no just shake your head and mumble "fuckin engineers" and never explain it to them.

Scale up post approval changes allow you that 10% variance in non active ingredients.

I just pointed out that our scales are only accurate to 0.5kg. How did he think we were measuring out 0.73kg when our scales don't have that amount of accuracy? If anything I thought an engineer would know about significant digits!

The funny thing is, the very first thing engineers learn in almost any class is significant figures and to make sure an answer makes sense in a real life scenario. Obviously not everyone is the same in terms of how they apply things, but engineers are definitely taught not to do stuff like that

Engineers that make things make sense in real life scenarios cost too much

As a contract process engineer with quality background/certs, I 100% agree. I charge stupid money.
