you're viewing the drawing as a product, analogously to a computer program, where I don't:

As a one-time indentured draughtsman and qualified Mech.Eng, I can tell you that your interpretation is discordant with the way engineers view blueprints. Each blueprint has its own document no.; modifications history; title; keys; etc. They are "documents" in their own right. And in combination with materials lists--which sometimes are included on the drawings, they can be a complete specification for the manufacture of the product.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
