Me too. I never really understood why it was such a "thing".
It’s big and visible, and there is the little hook of the fact that ideally it wouldn’t have been needed — it was needed as a way to work around a schedule problem, as I understand it. The fact that a certain amount of schedule trouble is expected in a project like this, and that sometimes extra expenditures are needed to work around the trouble isn’t really part of the thinking, if one can dignify it with that word.
Also, I suspect some of the “concrete experts” may only be experts in landscaping — front walks, borders, etc. Not at all the same thing as building a bridge with a massive design capacity over a substantial gap. I’m sure there are lots of people who could do a perfectly competent job of landscaping around your house who would not be able to build that bridge at all.
