Yet another example of why managers aren't very useful
I've seen this sort of problem where managers in an engineering department that aren't engineers themselves decide that a task is so simple that they can just have an intern do it so one of the other regular staff aren't pulled away from something else. The task looks so simple when staff does it that the intern should have no problem.
We lost several expensive rocket engines due to that sort of thinking.
