Pretengineer

A person who has no hesitation in making decisons with regard to complex issues, but who refuses to accept any responsibility for potential consequences. This person is often very loud during group conversations and will unnecessarily CC many others into an email chain for demonstration purposes. However, this person will seemingly dissappear from the conversation as soon as questions are raised over accountability and ownership.
Frank has been pretengineering a long time and needs to let everyone know how things should be done.

Frank emailed Lee a long list of items which needed to be ammended on Lee's design. Some Frank's suggestions were creating conflicts in the design and Lee asked Frank for written clarification.

Frank replied that he was too busy and told Lee to speak with Pat.
