Philosophers aim for universal truths, but in that effort, when the empirical details are ignored, the philosophical story may end up missing the mark. Here it is argued that when attention is applied to the details, the Old Story that engineering is applied science falls apart. It is further argued that attempts to establish some kind of epistemic authority for science over engineering are simply misguided.
