Tech people can be very dogmatic. What's the best programming language? What's the worst programming language? Best or worst paradigm? Best algorithm for a particular purpose? Vim or Emacs? Tabs or spaces? Open source or Free Software? Add political ideology to that (even apoliticality is inherently political) and the classism and elitism of Silicon Valley (the same forum winds up containing millionaires and the proles who want their heads on a platter) and yes dogma seems inevitable unless everyone avoids ever discussing anything that anyone finds interesting.
