True. The pipefitter just needs a general idea of how things are supposed to go, and then he pipes it however he wants to. As designers, however, we do detailed drawings so that when the pipefitter fucks it up, we can say "If you had just installed it the way I drew it, it would have worked!" It's all about CYA.
