I think this article assumes that there are possibly engineers that don't think flexibly and need to follow some "absolute truths".

> Have I been around too good engineers that I have not noticed this issue?

Probably. I mean, I would love to be between your colleagues.

In some places, submission to ideas rumored to be proven is valued more than flexible thinking, critical thinking at any time, etc. I know that some countries in Asian have a rather high degree of culture like this. It doesn't apply to everyone.
