engineering mistakes on recordings

I am wondering if anyone else gets aggravated by audio engineering blunders.  One of my biggest issues is when the engineer cannot even get the ride and high hat in the right place.  Many times they are opposite, and very frustrating.  I know there are some drummers where this is correct but not many.  How can engineers by such idiots?

My point exactly. They never learned the fundamentals.

T-Bone Burnette's Truth Decay LP was originally on a small independent label, and the last song on side one ("Driving Wheel") had a false ending; after a brief silence, the song started back up again, playing through a fade-out. When the album was remastered for LP release on a different label, the mastering engineer cut off the song at the false ending!

+2 for Steely Dan. Except for The Royal Scam (IMO), all their recording and production values were first rate across their catalog. And, TRS is still one of the better produced pop albums compared to most.

TRS is my favorite. Please elaborate on the flaws.
