And that's obvious from the very beginning, when you look at how human collectives work. You never can determine who really does nothing.
Even if we imagine this is somehow possible, there are social predators, as in psychopaths or at least scheming jerks, in every one of them, who don't want a transparent structure of responsibility. And there's the majority of us who rely on their kind to handle the social dynamics we don't want. And there's need for some stability.
But all that aside, engineers would be the last group in my list to check for people "doing nothing". Almost everyone eager to discuss engineers "doing nothing" would fit higher there.
