判断是工程、医学、科学和许多其他实践活动的核心。例如，一个知道工程师所知道的东西，但缺乏“工程判断”的人可能是某种类型的专家，是一种很像参考书或数据库的方便资源，但不能成为一名称职的工程师。虽然经常被忽视或至少在沉默中被忽略，但一旦指出，判断在工程、科学等领域的中心地位应该是显而易见的。它在这里很重要，因为它有助于解释伦理在这些学科中的地位。没有好的判断就没有好的工程，没有好的科学，等等，在这些学科中没有道德就没有好的判断。教授这些学科，即使是最低限度的体面工作，也必须包括教授其伦理；教授道德就是教授纪律（或者至少是很大一部分）。
Judgment is central to engineering, medicine, the sciences and many other practical activities. For example, one who otherwise knows what engineers know but lacks “engineering judgment” may be an expert of sorts, a handy resource much like a reference book or database, but cannot be a competent engineer. Though often overlooked or at least passed over in silence, the central place of judgment in engineering, the sciences, and the like should be obvious once pointed out. It is important here because it helps to explain where ethics fits into these disciplines. There is no good engineering, no good science, and so on without good judgment and no good judgment in these disciplines without ethics. Doing even a minimally decent job of teaching one of these disciplines necessarily includes teaching its ethics; teaching the ethics is teaching the discipline (or at least a large part of it).
