How do Engineers not understand GDnT?

I spent almost an hour trying to explain to an Engineer how GDnT works and how and why the part was failing. I would think with all of the GDnT on the prints they would have a better understanding of it. (I know its not all engineers may be just a few that I work with)

  • I have asked this question a lot. The answer I've always got (which I really don't accept but have to keep my mouth shut & work with):

    GD&T didn't REALLY start becoming a thing until the early to mid 1990s. Most of the other engineers I work with are in their 50s and 60s and never learned GD&T in school. They had to learn it later in their careers & only learned the bare minimum in order to get by.
