"There's always a price to pay" is basically what engineering is.

Anybody could build a bridge to last 100 years, or to survive a barge ship crashing into it, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that will barely last 100 years, or barely survive a bridge crashing into it (which you could kind of say the F.S.Key bridge did, since only really the middle section was taken out).

Put another way, in the real world, there are budgets and sacrifices.
