In any applied science there is the element of the unknown variable. This includes architecture. If you build a beautiful building, triple checking your maths and verifying it with all the diagnostic tools at your disposal, and it fails due to an unknowable variable (like groundwater making the surface unstable), how is this any different than a psychologist using a proven method on a patient but seeing it fail because something in the behavioral pattern of the patient goes unknown?
