Well, that's why you never hear such nonsense from engineers.

Please. I make my living fixing engineers mistakes. My experience is that for every good engineer you deal with, you get several marginally competent yet overly arrogent specimens. Your repeated references to the profession leads me to conclude that you are an engineer, and I conclude that you believe yourself to be the one of the sample. Then again, so do all of the several.

Did these reference speak in terms of good and bad, or were they more specific?

Attributions of effects to causes should not be made so lightly. The little I have said on this thread cannot even put you in the vicinity of what I am professionally. If we met in person and I told you, you would smile at your own hypothesis.

As for the original remark, it was specific, and you have read something else into it altogether.
