Summary

This quote reflects the difference between professions that deal with tangible mistakes and those that don't. While a physician can hide their errors by burying them, an architect cannot erase their mistakes in a physical sense. Instead, architects can only suggest a solution that helps camouflage or improve the flaw, like advising clients to plant vines to cover a building's imperfections. It contrasts the permanence of architectural errors with the impermanence of medical mistakes, highlighting the unique challenges architects face in dealing with their missteps.
